@ Dapple Grey for Sleigh Cleo and Rose 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

@ Sunrise Wood “I’ve written a postcard to Mrs Eucalyptus about this amazing Huskies, Hijinks and Hygge experience!” said Cleo. “She’ll wish she were here! Where’s the nearest postbox?” Bear 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, Cleo. How remiss of them!” Seeing Cleo’s ears beginning to droop, Bear added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the Experience!” 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 Bear.

@ Ornate Ice Shards “I’ve written a postcard to Mrs Eucalyptus about this amazing Huskies, Hijinks and Hygge experience!” said Cleo. “She’ll wish she were here!

How remiss of them!” Seeing Cleo’s ears beginning to droop, NutMeg added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the Experience!” 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!

Cleo shook paws with NutMeg the Red Squirrel. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snow Scene Sunrise "Remember when Foxy leant too far over the bridge in Meadowlands that time, and fell in the pond with a huge splash, Oliver?" asked Cleo. "My stomach muscles ached for days, I laughed so much!" 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 Oliver.
Cleo shook paws with Oliver the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Lonesome Road Minerva dived into her rucksack and scrabbled about in it, searching. “There's no mention in Jingle Bells how jolly cold an open sleigh is, Cleo!” she said. “I haven't warmed up since—I'm going to put some extra layers on!” Minerva emerged clutching a scarf and a woolly hat. "But just breathe in that crisp air!" said Cleo. “You can feel it doing you good.” Lonesome Road This road stretches for mile after endless mile but with that breath-taking mountain view to admire, the time will fly past!

Cleo shook paws with Minerva the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowboat “Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cold, Cleo!” said Icy. “Can you hold my map while I dig out my gloves?" Cleo good-naturedly took charge of Icy's possessions while she emptied her rucksack of a pack of sandwiches, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of toffees, a paperback novel, a bottle of mineral water, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old train tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some shopping receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and tomato ketchup before locating the gloves right at the bottom. These she donned and then Cleo helped her put everything back in her rucksack. 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 Icy.
Cleo shook paws with Icy the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!

These she donned and then Cleo helped her put everything back in her rucksack. 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 Bella.
Cleo shook paws with Bella the Mauve Koala. They both received one silver mole!
@ No Battenberg "There's nothing like sea air, is there, Cleo?" said Dudley. “Very invigorating!" replied Cleo. No Battenberg If nine-tenths of an iceberg is below the surface, just think what the overall size of these must be!

Cleo shook paws with Dudley the Deer. They both received one silver mole!
@ Marram View “I’ve written a postcard to Mrs Eucalyptus about this amazing Huskies, Hijinks and Hygge experience!” said Cleo. “She’ll wish she were here! Where’s the nearest postbox?” swinger 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, Cleo. How remiss of them!” Seeing Cleo’s ears beginning to droop, swinger added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the Experience!” 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.

@ Still Silent Hills “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!” 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 Alexandra.
Cleo shook paws with Alexandra the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Idylllic Waterway Retreat Foxy dived into his rucksack and scrabbled about in it, searching. “There's no mention in Jingle Bells how jolly cold an open sleigh is, Cleo!” he said. “I haven't warmed up since—I'm going to put some extra layers on!” Foxy emerged clutching a scarf and a woolly hat. "But just breathe in that crisp air!" said Cleo. “You can feel it doing you good.” 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 Foxy.
Cleo shook paws with Foxy the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Creagan Cove “If there's time at the end when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," Specks said, offering Cleo a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself. “That sounds like a good plan, Specks!" said Cleo. 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.

Cleo shook paws with Specks the Merry Mole. They both received one silver mole!
@ Water Splash "It's turned a bit cold, Cleo, I'm going to put my beanie hat on," said Flicka. "Good scheme! I'll dig my scarf out as well," said Cleo. 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 Flicka.
Cleo shook paws with Flicka the Green Rapid Dragonfly. They both received one silver mole!
@ Tinde Tjernet Lake “Hey, have you seen what the next stop is, Cleo?” said Yay. "It looks fantastic!" "I'll get my camera ready," said Cleo. 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 Yay.
Cleo shook paws with Yay the Yeti. They both received one silver mole!
@ Sleek Ship “Hey, have you seen what the next stop is, Cleo?” said Eric. "It looks fantastic!" "I'll get my camera ready," said Cleo.

Cleo shook paws with Eric the Red Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Clear Lake Serenity “A picture of this would look lovely printed on Christmas cards, wouldn't it, Cleo?” Bahama said. “It certainly would, Bahama!" said Cleo.

While wandering in Winter, you met Bahama.
Cleo shook paws with Bahama the Luscious Lilac Dolphin. They both received one silver mole!
@ Troll Tjernet “Hey, have you seen what the next stop is, Cleo?” said swinger. "It looks fantastic!" "I'll get my camera ready," said Cleo.

These he donned and then Cleo helped him put everything back in his rucksack. 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.

"Oh, you can't beat a solid little grey stone house, Choose a namebecky!" 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?

@ Gracious Living “You know what Ratty said in Wind in the Willows, Cleo?” said Lilly. "No, what was that?" "He said, 'there is nothing—absolutely nothing—half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats'," said Lilly. "He's right!"

@ Enticing Mug of Hot Chocolate Cleo is tired out and ready to go home when BERT comes along. "Wow! You find a special prize!" says BERT. Cleo 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 BERT.
Cleo shook paws with BERT the Bashful Badger. They both received one silver mole!
