Now that Hayda Loral inc has secured a healthy five year sponsorship deal with Brittany Ferries, I get to ride one of these to work. x
Chum Chum Churrah! xxx

I loved this ship. ❤️
m/v Val de Loire - the ship of dreams, my salvation.
x x x

I jumped off this ship in 1998. x x I landed in a smaller fishing boat. x

When I jumped off the ferry, my skirt got caught and I lost it, but fortunately I was wearing trousers underneath. x I spent all afternoon on the fishing boat until we reached England. x It was hot. I decided that it was a little too hot, so I took off my top and I gave it to the fisherman to look after. then I did something even more foolish and threw my locket into the sea. ❤️

When I reached England in the evening, I got whooped at because I wasn't wearing a top. I was so embarrassed that I wondered into a church, where I pricked my finger on a candle and I spent no more and no less than three days asleep in the bowels of the church. I was woken up by the general, and sent back home on the ferry to France. xxx

So where was I going that day?

My father sent me over to England against my will to participate in a military operation. x Fortunately, I got the locket back - a fisherman found it! xxx correction: my uncle - I discovered who my real father was in 2006! x

Yes. x The locket brought good tidings. My father used to tell me that the locket originates in the dunes of North Africa, where it was forged by a great alchemist. x

The locket saved my life in 2006. x x Others tried to possess it, but it was my rightful inheritance. x

My real father is still alive and well. It was wonderful getting to know him for the first time. x It is a bit odd that the identities of my uncle and my father were reversed. xx From my real father, I inherit my love of wine. He is a wine merchant, so it runs in the family. x

That summer, I slept in the bowels of the church for 3 days. xxx Some say that it was a coma. x Either way, I was sent to participate in a military operation, but I didn't want to, and so I escaped. but I pricked my finger on the candle in the church, and this is what made me fall asleep. x x x
