@ Dapple Grey for Sleigh Granny and Ronald have been given a free map to help them enjoy their Winter Tour! Before unfolding it, they read the cover: Boats & Bergs On the only island part of the tour, the pets are picked up at the landing stage by a horse-drawn sleigh and are driven through snowy pines to board their awaiting boat which will take them on the main part of the day's adventure. They will see mountains, icebergs, fun little sandy or rocky coves, swathes of trees lining the coast, snowy island villages and will be enthralled towards the end by the tale of the spooky Troll Lake ... those of a nervous disposition will find exploring the night's accommodation will lift their spirits however! It is a beautiful house with a log fire to warm their paws by while they wind down for the night with mugs of hot chocolate. Dapple Grey for Sleigh Just hear those sleigh bells jingling Ring-ting-tingling too Come on, it's lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with you Outside the snow is falling And friends are calling, "Yoo hoo" Come on, it's lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with you
While wandering in Winter, you met Ronald.
Granny shook paws with Ronald the Reindeer - Sleigh Trainee. They both received one silver mole!
@ Sunrise Wood "Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Granny," said Amanda, "for this experience alone?" Granny, admiring the scene they were now in, heartily agreed! Sunrise Wood Picture the quiet of this wood as you travel through it, the sleigh following previous tracks, the only sounds in the stillness being the muffled clop of the horses' hooves, the jingle of the harness and the swish of the runners through the snow.
While wandering in Winter, you met Amanda.
Granny shook paws with Amanda the Green Rapid Dragonfly. They both received one silver mole!
@ Ornate Ice Shards Foxy Sir was studying his map for the current tour. "Why don't we have a word like hygge in English, Granny?" “Well, I don't know, Foxy Sir. I guess if we don't have a word for something, we borrow it from another language. There's lots of examples, I reckon." Ornate Ice Shards The sheer perfection of these shards of ice under magnification show the beauty of Mother Nature's design! Each shard stands like an ornate little spear or pinnacle, yet is made of nothing but frozen water!

Granny shook paws with Foxy Sir the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snow Scene Sunrise “If there's time at the end when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," Gordon said, offering Granny a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for himself. “That sounds like a good plan, Gordon!" said Granny. Snow Scene Sunrise The start of a new winter day, with the sun rising and reflecting off the snow crystals which clad the ground, making them glitter in the early morning. Later on, perhaps the snow on the benches will have melted and be occupied by pets taking a rest from their winter snow activities.
While wandering in Winter, you met Gordon.
Granny shook paws with Gordon the Green Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Lonesome Road “Let's hope Foxy doesn't get as seasick as he did that time on Crocodile Creek, Granny!” said Flitter. "Well, he's in good company, Flitter," replied Granny. "Admiral Nelson was a chronic sufferer, as well as Horatio Hornblower." "Hornblower was fictional, Granny!" Flitter pointed out. "Well—whatever," responded Granny. "It took time for him to get his sea legs on every trip." Lonesome Road This road stretches for mile after endless mile but with that breath-taking mountain view to admire, the time will fly past!
While wandering in Winter, you met Flitter.
Granny shook paws with Flitter the Green Rapid Dragonfly. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowboat “Let's hope Foxy doesn't get as seasick as he did that time on Crocodile Creek, Granny!” said Patch. "Well, he's in good company, Patch," replied Granny. "Admiral Nelson was a chronic sufferer, as well as Horatio Hornblower." "Hornblower was fictional, Granny!" Patch pointed out. "Well—whatever," responded Granny. "It took time for him to get his sea legs on every trip." Snowboat This sturdy bateau will take the icy waters in her stride and all a pet has to do is find the best vantage point for admiring the scenes all around! Oh, and keep out of the captain's way, of course!
While wandering in Winter, you met Patch.
Granny shook paws with Patch the Black Lovable Labrador. They both received one silver mole!
@ Grey Peaks “What have you got in your tote bag, Flutterbye?” asked Tweety Pi. “It looks very full!” “I’ve come prepared for anything snowy, Tweety Pi,” responded Flutterbye. “There’s snowshoes, snow boots, Wellington boots, a pair of grippy things—you name it, I’ve got it!” Grey Peaks Looming up ahead out of the water are the stern, forbidding, desolate peaks shrouded in mist that clearly show the harsh landscape in wintertime.
While wandering in Winter, you met Midnight Majesty.
Granny shook paws with Midnight Majesty the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ No Battenberg “Let’s pose with one of us each side of this attraction and I’ll set the self-timer to take a shot,” said Granny to Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly). “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!” No Battenberg If nine-tenths of an iceberg is below the surface, just think what the overall size of these must be!
While wandering in Winter, you met Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly).
Granny shook paws with Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly) the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly) and you found 10 Travel Tokens!
@ Marram View “I could stay here forever, Granny,” said Hoover. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, Hoover. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Granny. Marram View As the sun sets and casts its lingering rays on the sea, there can be no better place for entering a meditative state than beside Marram View, whatever the season.
While wandering in Winter, you met Hoover.
Granny shook paws with Hoover the Dwarf Hamster. They both received one silver mole!
@ Still Silent Hills moo moo was studying her map for the current tour. "Why don't we have a word like hygge in English, Granny?" “Well, I don't know, moo moo. I guess if we don't have a word for something, we borrow it from another language. There's lots of examples, I reckon." Still Silent Hills The autumnal hues of trees on these crags turn slowly to winter foliage and the snowy peaks above them brood down over them in the absolute stillness of water.
While wandering in Winter, you met moo moo.
Granny shook paws with moo moo the Vanilla Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
@ Idylllic Waterway Retreat “You know, this is the most wonderful place, Granny!” said Mollie. "It's very nice indeed—but you never know, the next leg of the tour might be even better!" said Granny. Idylllic Waterway Retreat What a blissfully idyllic place this would be to live! Imagine steering your boat from place to place and berthing at a landing stage rather than a driveway! With its backdrop of white-topped mountains, a foreground of peaceful waterway, and distinctive houses plus a church with a high steeple, this is certainly a lovely place.
While wandering in Winter, you met Mollie.
Granny shook paws with Mollie the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Creagan Cove “I’ve written a postcard to Mrs Eucalyptus about this amazing Huskies, Hijinks and Hygge experience!” said Granny. “She’ll wish she were here! Where’s the nearest postbox?” Tickety-Boo shielded his eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t know how it comes about, but they appear not to have thought to provide a postbox here, Granny. How remiss of them!” Seeing Granny’s ears beginning to droop, Tickety-Boo added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the Experience!” Creagan Cove 'Ware rocks, ahoy! This cove, fringed with prominent boulders, is perfect for dipping your paws, wings or flippers into when the tide is out. When the tide is full, Rocky Cove offers up brilliant snorkelling opportunities, if the sea is calm enough.
While wandering in Winter, you met Tickety-Boo.
Granny shook paws with Tickety-Boo the Bashful Badger. They both received one silver mole!
@ Water Splash “Wouldn't it be lovely to live in a lighthouse? So romantic!" mused Granny, lying back on a boat deckchair in the indoor lounge. "Well, I don't know," said Honey. "It's not all about drinking coffee and gazing at the sea. You have run up and down stairs, operate the light and the foghorn, and there may be no running water or electricity apart from a generator." Honey considered this. "Mine would be a luxurious, converted, non-operational lighthouse, then." Water Splash What does this conjure up in your imagination? Playing in the sea on a sunny day? Skiing fast downhill and throwing up a fine spray of slush? Lazing on the lawn on a baking hot day with the water sprinkler going?
While wandering in Winter, you met Honey.
Granny shook paws with Honey the Bashful Badger. They both received one silver mole!
@ Tinde Tjernet Lake “You know, this is the most wonderful place, Granny!” said wiggles. "It's very nice indeed—but you never know, the next leg of the tour might be even better!" said Granny. Tinde Tjernet Lake Brrrr! A lot of pets would baulk at taking a dip in this lake, with patches of ice floating on top! But wrap up warm, and it's the perfect spot for tarrying a while, as the ripples from the birds' feeding activities spread outwards and the light starting to fade a little from the sky.
While wandering in Winter, you met wiggles.
Granny shook paws with wiggles the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
@ Sleek Ship Nermal Stingray dived into his rucksack and scrabbled about in it, searching. “There's no mention in Jingle Bells how jolly cold an open sleigh is, Granny!” he said. “I haven't warmed up since—I'm going to put some extra layers on!” Nermal Stingray emerged clutching a scarf and a woolly hat. "But just breathe in that crisp air!" said Granny. “You can feel it doing you good.” Sleek Ship There's plenty of space on deck in the open air for those pets willing to brave the chill wind! Otherwise there are plenty of seats in the covered lounge area below. But make sure you emerge in time to wave to the welcoming party on terra firma!
While wandering in Winter, you met Nermal Stingray.

@ Clear Lake Serenity “What have you got in your tote bag, Flutterbye?” asked Tweety Pi. “It looks very full!” “I’ve come prepared for anything snowy, Tweety Pi,” responded Flutterbye. “There’s snowshoes, snow boots, Wellington boots, a pair of grippy things—you name it, I’ve got it!” Clear Lake Serenity The snow-clad mountains are perfectly mirrored in the still, calm grey waters of the lake. This wintry lake has the clear transparency of quartz and is a place to meditate.
While wandering in Winter, you met Choose a name.
Granny shook paws with Choose a name the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
@ Troll Tjernet Lilly dived into her rucksack and scrabbled about in it, searching. “There's no mention in Jingle Bells how jolly cold an open sleigh is, Granny!” she said. “I haven't warmed up since—I'm going to put some extra layers on!” Lilly emerged clutching a scarf and a woolly hat. "But just breathe in that crisp air!" said Granny. “You can feel it doing you good.” Troll Tjernet We note the Norwegian influence on this spooky body of water—Troll Lake! Who knows what legends have been passed down over the centuries ... watch out if you dip your paws or flippers in there, especially after sunset and the lake is shrouded with mist!
While wandering in Winter, you met Lilly.
Granny shook paws with Lilly the Pink Forest Spider. They both received one silver mole!
@ Sunset Ski Ride "Do you think we'll see penguins like we did on Snow Beach that time, Barista?" asked Granny. "Oh gosh, Granny, do you remember those sharks, and the octopus as well? Poor Fresco took one look and hid in the bottom of the boat!" responded Barista. Sunset Ski Ride Picture the thrill of skiing down this snowy slope with these majestic peaks towering high above!
While wandering in Winter, you met Barista.

@ Snowy Alpine Village Scene “So what do you reckon, Granny, one of these red houses or one of these brown houses?” asked DILLIGAS. "Oh, you can't beat a solid little grey stone house, DILLIGAS!" Snowy Alpine Village Scene A scene of chocolate box prettiness! Night-time in an Alpine village, under a clear starry night with snow thickly coating the roofs of chalets and pine trees with snowy peaks in the distance. It's time to hunker down by the wood burning stove with hot drinks and raclette.
While wandering in Winter, you met DILLIGAS.
Granny shook paws with DILLIGAS the Green Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!

@ Knit and Natter “You know, I'd like to spend a whole week here, Granny!” said Joker. "It's very nice indeed—but you never know, the next leg of the tour might be even better!" said Granny. Knit and Natter There can be no more cosy occupation than sitting by the fire with just the click of knitting needles and the resettling of the logs as they burn as an accompaniment. Which lucky pets will end up snug and cosy in this knitwear?
While wandering in Winter, you met Joker.
Granny shook paws with Joker the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ White Shutter Room "This is fabulous, Horse's Neck Jay," enthused Granny. "I'll have this photo printed and framed and display it next to my ceramic puffin that I got in the little gift shop near Snow Beach and the model lighthouse from Transcia!" "You'll have a fine collection of mementos, Granny!" said Horse's Neck Jay. White Shutter Room If you like your television to be HEE-U-U-GE and your fire to be IMMENSE then to shutter off the windows to help keep out the cold, this is the room for you!
While wandering in Winter, you met Horse's Neck Jay.

"You'll have a fine collection of mementos, Granny!" said Hera.

Granny shook paws with Hera the Yellow Lovable Labrador. They both received one silver mole!
@ Enticing Mug of Hot Chocolate Granny is tired out and ready to go home when Tammie comes along. "Wow! You find a special prize!" says Tammie. Granny turns round and found it was just behind them! Frosty Mauve Flower These languid petals of mauve with stamens like little clusters of fairy lights are an elegant adornment. Enticing Mug of Hot Chocolate Mmmm! Just the thing to sip before retiring for the night, a mug of milky hot chocolate. To help wind down, it helps to read a chapter of a good book (but nothing too exciting!).
While wandering in Winter, you met Tammie.
Granny shook paws with Tammie the Green Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
