@ Dapple Grey for Sleigh Perdita and Killion 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 Killion.

@ Sunrise Wood “So what do you reckon, Perdita, one of these red houses or one of these brown houses?” asked Tallulah. "Oh, you can't beat a solid little grey stone house, Tallulah!" 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 Tallulah.
Perdita shook paws with Tallulah the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Ornate Ice Shards “Let's hope Foxy doesn't get as seasick as he did that time on Crocodile Creek, Perdita!” said Latte. "Well, he's in good company, Latte," replied Perdita. "Admiral Nelson was a chronic sufferer, as well as Horatio Hornblower." "Hornblower was fictional, Perdita!" Latte pointed out. "Well—whatever," responded Perdita. "It took time for him to get his sea legs on every trip." 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!
While wandering in Winter, you met Latte.
Perdita shook paws with Latte the Arctic Hare. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snow Scene Sunrise “You know, I'd like to spend a whole week here, Perdita!” said Choose a name ♡ Molly. "It's very nice indeed—but you never know, the next leg of the tour might be even better!" said Perdita. 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 Choose a name ♡ Molly.
Perdita shook paws with Choose a name ♡ Molly the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!

@ Lonesome Road “If there's time at the end when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," Iolanthe said, offering Perdita a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself. “That sounds like a good plan, Iolanthe!" said Perdita.
Lonesome Road This road stretches for mile after endless mile but with that breath-taking mountain view to admire, the time will fly past!

@ Snowboat “You know, this is the most wonderful place, Perdita!” said Whisper. "It's very nice indeed—but you never know, the next leg of the tour might be even better!" said Perdita. 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 Whisper.
Perdita shook paws with Whisper the Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
@ Grey Peaks "Do you think we'll see penguins like we did on Snow Beach that time, Snowball?" asked Perdita. "Oh gosh, Perdita, do you remember those sharks, and the octopus as well? Poor Fresco took one look and hid in the bottom of the boat!" responded Snowball. 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 Snowball.
Perdita shook paws with Snowball the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ No Battenberg "Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Perdita," said Zoot, "for this experience alone?" Perdita, admiring the scene they were now in, heartily agreed! 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 Zoot.
Perdita shook paws with Zoot the Green Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Marram View “Let’s pose with one of us each side of this attraction and I’ll set the self-timer to take a shot,” said Perdita to Jinx. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!” 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 Jinx.
Perdita shook paws with Jinx the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Still Silent Hills “If there's time at the end when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," Hoots said, offering Perdita a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for himself. “That sounds like a good plan, Hoots!" said Perdita.
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 Hoots.
Perdita shook paws with Hoots the Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
@ Idylllic Waterway Retreat “It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, Jade?” said Perdita."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books." Jade shivered. “What books, Perdita? Those written by Baden-Powell? I think I'd rather have my creature comforts indoors, thank you." 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 Jade.
Perdita shook paws with Jade the Green Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Creagan Cove “It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, Mr. Tickles?” said Perdita."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books." Mr. Tickles shivered. “What books, Perdita? Those written by Baden-Powell? I think I'd rather have my creature comforts indoors, thank you." 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 Mr. Tickles.
Perdita shook paws with Mr. Tickles the Escaped Aye-Aye. They both received one silver mole!
@ Water Splash “Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cold, Perdita!” said Mekmek. “Can you hold my map while I dig out my gloves?" Perdita good-naturedly took charge of Mekmek's possessions while he emptied his 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 he donned and then Perdita helped him put everything back in his rucksack.
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 Mekmek.
Perdita shook paws with Mekmek the Red Squirrel. They both received one silver mole!
@ Tinde Tjernet Lake "It's turned a bit cold, Perdita, I'm going to put my beanie hat on," said Dustin. "Good scheme! I'll dig my scarf out as well," said Perdita. 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 Dustin.
Perdita shook paws with Dustin the Stormy Sky Bunny. They both received one silver mole!
@ Sleek Ship “I’ve written a postcard to Mrs Eucalyptus about this amazing Huskies, Hijinks and Hygge experience!” said Perdita. “She’ll wish she were here! Where’s the nearest postbox?” Puddle Rumchuckle 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, Perdita. How remiss of them!” Seeing Perdita’s ears beginning to droop, Puddle Rumchuckle added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the Experience!” 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 Puddle Rumchuckle.
Perdita shook paws with Puddle Rumchuckle the Black Happy Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
@ Clear Lake Serenity “You know what Ratty said in Wind in the Willows, Perdita?” said lilycat. "No, what was that?" "He said, 'there is nothing—absolutely nothing—half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats'," said lilycat. "He's right!" 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 lilycat.
Perdita shook paws with lilycat the Ragdoll Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Troll Tjernet Bubblegum dived into his rucksack and scrabbled about in it, searching. “There's no mention in Jingle Bells how jolly cold an open sleigh is, Perdita!” he said. “I haven't warmed up since—I'm going to put some extra layers on!” Bubblegum emerged clutching a scarf and a woolly hat. "But just breathe in that crisp air!" said Perdita. “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 Bubblegum.
Perdita shook paws with Bubblegum the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
@ Sunset Ski Ride "Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Perdita," said PluttiPott, "for this experience alone?" Perdita, admiring the scene they were now in, heartily agreed! Sunset Ski Ride Picture the thrill of skiing down this snowy slope with these majestic peaks towering high above!

@ Snowy Alpine Village Scene "It's turned a bit cold, Perdita, I'm going to put my beanie hat on," said Theo. "Good scheme! I'll dig my scarf out as well," said Perdita. 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 Theo.
Perdita shook paws with Theo the Elf Baby. They both received one silver mole!
@ Wistful Bear Christy was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Perdita unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which she succeeded in knocking Christy’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped Christy. “We’re about to pose beside this amazing scene—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up PDQ!” Wistful Bear Awww!

While wandering in Winter, you met billy.
Perdita shook paws with billy the Dauntless Dolphin. They both received one silver mole!
@ Knit and Natter Likey dived into her rucksack and scrabbled about in it, searching. “There's no mention in Jingle Bells how jolly cold an open sleigh is, Perdita!” she said. “I haven't warmed up since—I'm going to put some extra layers on!” Likey emerged clutching a scarf and a woolly hat. "But just breathe in that crisp air!" said Perdita. “You can feel it doing you good.”
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 Likey.
Perdita shook paws with Likey the Angel Wing Butterfly. They both received one silver mole!
@ White Shutter Room "Remember when Foxy leant too far over the bridge in Meadowlands that time, and fell in the pond with a huge splash, Fin?" asked Perdita. "My stomach muscles ached for days, I laughed so much!" 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 Fin.
Perdita shook paws with Fin the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Gracious Living Dorlinger was studying his map for the current tour. "Why don't we have a word like hygge in English, Perdita?" “Well, I don't know, Dorlinger. I guess if we don't have a word for something, we borrow it from another language. There's lots of examples, I reckon." 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.
While wandering in Winter, you met Dorlinger.
Perdita shook paws with Dorlinger the Green Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!

"It's very nice indeed—but you never know, the next leg of the tour might be even better!" said Perdita.

@ Enticing Mug of Hot Chocolate Perdita is tired out and ready to go home when queenielove comes along. "Wow! You find a special prize!" says queenielove. Perdita 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 queenielove.
Perdita shook paws with queenielove the Black Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Boats & Bergs Perdita has enjoyed her winter tour and is now ready to go to her own snug, warm home. BUCKEY 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.
