Answer: Kentucky Bluegrass

Kentucky Bluegrass is not really blue, however in the spring it produces a blueish purple bud which gives it a blueish tint.

Kentucky is a Commonwealth State boarded by seven states, Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. Its state song is, "My Old Kentucky Home", written by Stephen Foster in 1852. Kentucky was the 15th state to join the Union on 6 June 1792. The capital is Frankfort, with the largest city being Louisville.

My favorite time of year is autumn, when the foliage is ablaze with colors ranging from the deepest red to the brightest orange as the cooler weather approaches.

Answer: The Algarve

The Algarve stretches from West to East in the Southern part of Portugal.
It is full of beautiful sandy beaches (some hidden away). However, there is also vast countryside.

It has become more popular in the last 15 years, but still holds its charm.

Sitting on Lagos Marina (west) with a drink and listening to music is one of my favourite things to pass the time.

The climate is very hot in the summer season, which is also the busiest. Throughout the rest of the year it is cooler, but never really cold. We would consider 12C (about 47F) cold.

Hope you manage to visit us very soon.

"I belong to Glasgow.
Dear old Glasgow toon.

Glasgow belongs to me".

Answer: Cardiff

Cardiff's transformation into the "City of the Unexpected", (the name reflecting Dahl's "Tales of the Unexpected") involved hundreds of actors, performers and volunteers who took part in events all over the city. They included a high wire act from the walls of the Castle by the "Fantastic Mr Fox", "Miss Ladybird's Wedding" and a "Great Pajama Picnic" in Bute Park. "James and the Giant Peach" were a major part of the themed events. Members of the public, who came in the thousands, never knew what was going to happen next, which added to the fun.

Answer: Yellow River

All these rivers flow through China, but it is the Yellow River (known as Huang He in Mandarin) that was both a boon and a curse to the Chinese. Like many early civilizations, the Chinese settled next to flowing water that created fertile land. However, the Yellow River was also prone to devastating floods. In fact, the floods of the Yellow River are purportedly the only natural disasters to have killed in excess of one million people.
