Episode 1/27

@ Dapple Grey for Sleigh
Icy and Monster Jay 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 could stay here forever, Icy,” said Desdemona. “This is an amazing place!”
“Well, you never know what lies ahead, Desdemona. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Icy.
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.

Episode 3/27

@ Ornate Ice Shards
"It's great to have another boat trip, isn't it, Icy?" said Choose a name, studying the route map.
“Let's hope Foxy doesn't get seasick like he did at Crocodile Creek!" replied Icy. "Hang on, where are those Kwells?"

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!

Episode 4/27

@ Snow Scene Sunrise
“Let’s pose with one of us each side of this attraction and I’ll set the self-timer to take a shot,” said Icy to Pyron Toothless. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!”
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.

Episode 5/27

@ Lonesome Road
"This is fabulous, nicki," enthused Icy. "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, Icy!" said nicki.
Lonesome Road
This road stretches for mile after endless mile but with that breath-taking mountain view to admire, the time will fly past!

Episode 6/27

@ Snowboat
“It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, Rosie?” said Icy."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books."
Rosie shivered. “What books, Icy? Those written by Baden-Powell? I think I'd rather have my creature comforts indoors, thank you."
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!

Episode 7/27

@ Grey Peaks
"It's turned a bit cold, Icy, I'm going to put my beanie hat on," said Elvis.
"Good scheme! I'll dig my scarf out as well," said Icy.
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.

Episode 8/27

@ No Battenberg
“If there's time at the end when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," NightGhost said, offering Icy a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for himself.
“That sounds like a good plan, NightGhost!" said Icy.

No Battenberg
If nine-tenths of an iceberg is below the surface, just think what the overall size of these must be!

Episode 9/27

@ Marram View
“If there's time at the end when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," Chance said, offering Icy a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for himself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Chance!" said Icy.

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.

Episode 10/27

@ Still Silent Hills
“Let's hope Foxy doesn't get as seasick as he did that time on Crocodile Creek, Icy!” said Choose a name.
"Well, he's in good company, Choose a name," replied Icy. "Admiral Nelson was a chronic sufferer, as well as Horatio Hornblower."
"Hornblower was fictional, Icy!" Choose a name pointed out.
"Well—whatever," responded Icy. "It took time for him to get his sea legs on every trip."
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.

Episode 11/27

@ Idylllic Waterway Retreat
“You know, this is the most wonderful place, Icy!” said Sassyfly.
"It's very nice indeed—but you never know, the next leg of the tour might be even better!" said Icy.
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.

Episode 12/27

@ Creagan Cove
“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!”
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.

Episode 13/27

@ Water Splash
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Icy," said Lil, "for this experience alone?"
Icy, admiring the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
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?

Episode 14/27

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

Episode 15/27

@ Sleek Ship
“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!”
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!

Episode 16/27

@ Clear Lake Serenity
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Icy," said Rhapsody, "for this experience alone?"
Icy, admiring the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
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.

Episode 17/27

@ Troll Tjernet
Icy opened her rucksack to find her hat. Choose a name could see Icy had a beret, a balaclava, a cricket cap, a Tam o' Shanter, a woolly bobble hat, a beanie, a deerstalker hat and a Peruvian chullo!
“Did you bring a Stetson too?” Choose a name asked Icy.
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!

Episode 18/27

@ Sunset Ski Ride
“You know, I'd like to spend a whole week here, Icy!” said Iolanthe.
"It's very nice indeed—but you never know, the next leg of the tour might be even better!" said Icy.
Sunset Ski Ride
Picture the thrill of skiing down this snowy slope with these majestic peaks towering high above!

Episode 19/27

@ Snowy Alpine Village Scene
“Wouldn't it be lovely to live in a lighthouse? So romantic!" mused Icy, lying back on a boat deckchair in the indoor lounge.
"Well, I don't know," said Sweetie. "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."
Sweetie considered this. "Mine would be a luxurious, converted, non-operational lighthouse, then."
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.

Episode 20/27

@ Wistful Bear
"Remember when Foxy leant too far over the bridge in Meadowlands that time, and fell in the pond with a huge splash, Wyatt?" asked Icy. "My stomach muscles ached for days, I laughed so much!"
Wistful Bear
Awww! Can you resist this this cute little bear sitting waiting for you to pick him up?

Episode 21/27

@ Grace and Space
“It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, Thimbl?” said Icy."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books."
Thimbl shivered. “What books, Icy? Those written by Baden-Powell? I think I'd rather have my creature comforts indoors, thank you."
Grace and Space
Everypet will love curling up on the fluffy rug in front of the fire in this sophisticated setting. What is in that tempting present underneath the tree? Let's hope it's clearly labelled!

Episode 22/27

@ Knit and Natter
"This is fabulous, Alexander," enthused Icy. "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, Icy!" said Alexander.
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?

Episode 23/27

@ White Shutter Room
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Icy," said Thurmy, "for this experience alone?"
Icy, admiring the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
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!

Episode 24/27

@ Gracious Living
“So what do you reckon, Icy, one of these red houses or one of these brown houses?” asked Anastasia.
"Oh, you can't beat a solid little grey stone house, Anastasia!"
Gracious Living
An calm, elegant living room with orderly design that enjoys a relaxing view over the garden outside. Plenty of light is admitted by the large window panes but as dusk falls, the lamps provide extra cosiness.

Episode 25/27

@ Vivid Log Fire
“I could stay here forever, Icy,” said Tigger. “This is an amazing place!”
“Well, you never know what lies ahead, Tigger. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Icy.
Vivid Log Fire
Whether indoors or outdoors, a log fire is a familiar scene of warmth and conviviality, as pets gather round to warm their paws or flippers, to toast chestnuts or marshmallows and to swap stories of their busy lives.

Episode 26/27

@ Enticing Mug of Hot Chocolate
Icy is tired out and ready to go home when Turbo comes along. "Wow! You find a special prize!" says Turbo. Icy 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!).

Episode 27/27

@ Boats & Bergs
Icy has enjoyed her winter tour and is now ready to go to her own snug, warm home. Silk feels just the same!!
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.
Icy has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can take part in "Huskies, Hijinks and Hygge"!
