At the Devils Dyke, we dropped off this cafe to have lunch and warmth. Our daughters tried these coloring & puzzle papers which prepared by the cafe. I feel that almost every restaurant offers these kind of activities in the UK. They also …

How a bird can fly?

We went to the Devil's Dyke, which takes only 20 minutes on bus from Brighton. It was a very nice sunny day, but the wind was marvelously strong. We walk through the trail path, and there was only huge lawn there. Sometimes, we saw horses,…
