@ Don't Disparage the Carriage
S'not begins its Peregrinational adventure!
Don't Disparage the Carriage
They may look very basic, but these sturdy seats are quite fit for their purpose of allowing you to relax on a long train journey. They are highly utilitarian but there's craftsmanship gone into them to allow you to sit and look out of the window to watch the passing scenery!

@ Ready to Ramble

Purple Flower Power Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

Ready to Ramble
The prerequisites for rambling or orienteering—a map, a compass, a hat to ward off the midday sun and flying critters, plus most essential of all—good sturdy boots! Take care of your boots with regular cleaning and polishing, plus careful Dubbin to nourish and protect them!

"That sounds like a great idea, S'not!"
Story's End
There can be no more satisfying feeling for an author to be able to type "The End" at the conclusion of all the hard labour that has gone into writing and rewriting his tale! These days writing is mainly done on computers, but there are authors who prefer to write by hand, or even use an old-fashioned typewriter!

“A picture of this would look lovely printed on Christmas cards, wouldn't it, S'not?” Rainbeau said.
“It certainly would, Rainbeau!" said S'not.
Pied-à-terre with Flair
What better little house to come back to than this darling bijou residence, half-hidden by greenery until you're right in front of it! It would suit any pet wishing to relax and recoup their vitality in nature. From its nasturtium-clad fence and gate, a short path leads to its dear little circular front door, enabling a pet to shut out the world and be peaceful.

Cornish labyrinth
Glendurgan Garden labyrinth in Cornwall, south-west England. Cornwall has some of the warmest weather in England, as can be seen from the semi-tropical appearance of some of the shrubs

"What's that, S'not?" asked Marley.
"New sarcophagus unearthed in Eqypt! Archaeologists find a mummy wrapped in gold foil. It was the tomb of Pharaoh Rocher!"
Marley groaned quietly.
Little Stone House
This is a perfect little hidey-hole for a pet who enjoys cellar living! A stone house with an insulating thatch of grass, and its own well outside is the ideal pad!

“That sounds like a good plan, Choose a name!" said S'not.
Elegant Maze
A pet need have no fear of getting lost in this beautifully set out maze of flowerbeds! You want to be able to look over the low hedges to see the pink and purple flowers and shrubs in bloom. It is a delight for those who prefer order, calm and regularity over wilderness.

S'not joined him in hearty laughter at the memory.
Maze with Arches
Mazes have been around for millennia and one of the most famous, the Labyrinth, home of the Minotaur, plays an outstanding part in Greek mythology. Let's hope you don't encounter the Minotaur in this green and pleasant maze! Mazes are also in vogue in popular culture, from Westworld to the British cult TV series, The Crystal Maze.

Glass bottle bearing message
What message lies curled up within the bottle? Is it from a castaway on a remote desert island? Or does it contain words of inspiration and motivation for the random recipient?

@ Geometric Maze
S'not has now completed its Peregrinational adventure! As it exits the world of fantasy, it receives a wonderful gift!
Happy Hippo, Going Above and Beyond
Flying is a romantic adventure with the magical, irresistible appeal of an open cockpit! Those addicted to adrenaline who dream of flying on their own are going to be extremely happy to have their own little aeroplane. It represents independence, giving you the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want. And, of course, you're not limited to just the road...

Geometric Maze
What is the difference between a maze and a labyrinth? Although considered synonymous by some, it is generally accepted that a labyrinth contains only one path, often spiralling around and folding back on itself, in ever-decreasing loops, whereas a maze contains branching paths, presenting the explorer with choices and the potential for getting very, very lost!
S'not has enjoyed its Peregrinational adventure, but it is time to go home now! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also enjoy a fantasy adventure!
