Bloody branleurs!

Hello We're Arthur and Francis, personifications of France and England. Recently we've settled down for a more quiet domestic life. We're happilly married but unfortunately we cannot live together as we're both still needed in our respective countries. We try to make the best out of it by visiting each other as often as we can. On this blog you can ask us all sorts of questions. So go ahead and ask! - - - - - - - - - Arthur, Francis

Ich liebe dich Admin Julia... ja...ich deutschen spitzen

((OOC: Whoa my! I hope you mean that in a 'hey I think you're pretty cool' kinda way and not a 'I'm romantically interested in you' kind of way! If that's the case then thanks! Though that's a bit unfair to Marly, we work together on this and she works real hard as well. And while I'm not German I do speak it. that sentence doesn't seem right. You are German spikes? What did you mean to say?Sorry if I come across as strict here, this was a tough question to answer!Xx Julia))

This is a little personal but are you from Germany? Landsberg? I recognize where you took your pictures...

((OOC: heyy! I'm afraid you're mistaken. All our pictures were taken in the Netherlands. And the ones of the Amsterdam trip, were actually in Amsterdam.))

Arthur: "I know there's rumors that I can't cook but have you ever seen me make a meat and guiness pie? Yeah that's right! Ha!" Francis: "Arthur. A food picture again? Just because you took classes in cooking doesn't mean our followers are interested in seeing what you make every day! … Also ok this was very tasty."

Arthur: "I have been baking some tea time treats today and made us some nice gingerbread. There is actually a quite charming story about gingerbread from my country. I love telling stories so here goes! Way up north in England you can find the Lake District, and in this beautiful landscape hides the most charming town called Grasmere. Made immortal by the loving poems of William Wordsworth. To be honest I as a country was very flattered when he wrote about how much he loved me. Now, in Grasmere one can find a small shop that once belonged to the lovely Sarah Nelson. She's an old lady on the sign outside but let me tell you she was absolutely stunning back in the day. Now back in the day I was quite a young dandy and I liked being involved with the literati of my country listening to what they wrote. So I just happened to visit my dear friend Wordsworth, god keep his soul, when I came across this small shop from which came the loveliest smell. Now I can resist anything but temptation so in I went. There I found young miss Nelson making her famed gingerbread. Well a little walk and talk later I had gained a friend … and a recipice! Now you must now, two hundred years later you can still go to the shop. Still buy the gingerbread from original recipice. But, the thing is, the recipice is top secret. But Sarah seemed to have made an exception for her home country. And in mire ways than one she has given to England an amazing gift: the best gingerbread in the world."

Arthur: "Sweet revenge! Here we have Francis making a scene over cheese. Tsk a Yorkshire blue shouldn't scare you. You eat blue cheese all the time mister bloody cordon bleu!" Francis: "I hate British supermarkets. I can't find any of my favorite products. I need the Carrefour or the super U or even the intermarché. Where else can I get Carambars and oasis and rillette and - *sobs about food*"

What shop were you guys in while Arthur was trying to pick the scones?

Arthur: “Marks and Spencer, but the kind that carries food not just clothes. Tesco’s would be cheaper but this one is closer to where I live so Francis and I shop there for now.”

[fruktastic]

your playlist is excellent!!

Francis: “Thank you! feel free to take a look at my vinyls, Arthur has a collection as well.” ((OOC: Why thank you~! Mun Julia really does take pride in her music taste and loves oldies. So this is a big compliment))

Francis: "afore mentioned video. Arthur vs. scones. The movie." Arthur: "next time we do shopping I'm going to video tape you I swear to god! It's a really important choice"

Arthur: “four ‘o clock tea time. Me and Francis went to the marks and spencers today so I fear these are store bought but they were delicious all the same.”

Francis:“I made some videos pf him in the store. You won’t believe how long a man can take deciding if he wanted them with sultanas or not!”

Arthur:“I didn’t know if I wanted cheese on them or not yet!!! If you choose sultana you commit yourself to sweet an you cannot go back- wait you took a video of me?”

Arthur: “Dear followers, sorry for our summer break. We’re back up and running now and will answer-”

Francis:“Yes, yes Arthur! Enough of that boring stuff, now show them our holiday pictures!"

Arthur:“Here you go. We’ve spent a few quite nice weeks in Amsterdam. Lovely place, bit cloudy.”
