@ Community Center Mrs. Pen and Mulle now know where to find Fantastic Buildings, as they have been given a free map! Before unfolding it, they read the cover: Idyll The pets will gather on the picnic benches outside the community centre before commencing their country ramble. Let's hope those lunch bags remain intact for a few more hours! The tour encompasses country buildings from watermills and windmills to barns, some unusual stone buildings, including a lovely hobbit-type dwelling, and there are some scenes of chocolate-box prettiness. Those pets who have the energy left might like to swim out to the island in the centre of the lake or climb up to a fun tree-house! Others may prefer to explore a formal house and gardens or just relax by the beach! Community Center Attention all pets! Will each group of travelers please gather together at the picnic tables? The horse-drawn carriages will be arriving soon to take you on your tour of Idyll.

Mrs. Pen was in two minds about this! "You'd have to hold on very tight, Moriarty!" Dutch Windmill A gentle creak and a soft ‘whoosh’ as the sails zip past is all you hear when standing close to a windmill.
