The Life of Charlie Chalk. Hobbies I love to go mountain-climbing, especially in the summer time when the weather is not to cold. I bring enough food and water with me to last the day and I walk on the mountain for hours. It is really nice to see all the beautiful countryside and see the little animals on the mountain. My sister has two children. I love coffee. Every weekend, I go to a different coffee shop in Al Ain to try their coffee. So far, my favourite is Caribou in Al Ain Mall. My Mum and Dad live in a city called Belfast. The coffee in there has lots of nice flavours and the staff there are always full of smiles every day!
