Adventures through the Alphabet. :D

This one is also fiction - in case you're wondering!

Carole, de Chantenay Carrot had always wanted to visit Chantenay Chateau, When she was a Child, and Curious about her unusual name, Carole's Mum had Called her over, patted the Cushion on the Chair beside her, and said, "Carole, there's something you need to know. When you were a Child, the other Children would make fun of you because you were height Challenged, you weren't a Conventional Carrot in size of Colour so we took you to France and had you Christened " de Chantenay Carrot" as they are small but perfectly formed. The Churlish Children have been told that you are of French royal blood and if they make fun, their heads will be Chopped off.
One day, Carole jumped in her Car and drove to the Cross Channel ferry port, intending to sail to Calais and drive onto Chantenay. When the ship reached Calais, the Captain made an announcement "Today's special offer, Cheap and Cheerful, is the Mystery Cruise to a surprise destination. ". If there was something Carole de CC couldn't resist, it was Cheap, Cheerful and Mystery. "Show me to my Cabin, I Choose the Cruise".
A Cruise!! There'd be cheap drink, Chablis, Chardonnay and Cider, non stop Coffee, Maybe they'd go to the Channel Islands, Cyprus or the Canary Islands. Perhaps even California!
That night, Carole de CC slept well, wondering where she would wake up. At dawn, she was out on deck, the Clouds had Cleared, they were off the Cornish Coast, chugging westward. Calm seas and a Cool breeze. Which way next? The Canaries via Cork perhaps.
Another night in the Cabin called, and at day break, Carole de CC leapt from her Comfy Cocoon and rushed to the deck. She was so excited, where would they be today?
I recognise this place!! Its Cardiff, my Cymru, my real birthplace, not a fancy Continental Chateau. Why did I ever want to leave. 

(I've run out of steam now, like the ferry, the sun's out and the garden calls............). Cheerio!!
