My favourite place is the valley I went to as a child. We walked across the hills and first you came to a very grassy area near a stream, where we played hide and seek. There was a small, sandy hill that we rolled down. There was lots of muddy water too. We got very dirty! Behind this there were rocky hills that we climbed over. Some of them were very steep at the top! But the best place was a flat area opposite the stream, where we sat in the sun! I loved it.
