Episode 1/27

@ Dashing Through the Snow
Spotty and Peachy have been given a free map to help them enjoy their Winter Tour! Before unfolding it, they read the cover:
Ski & Skate
Today's trip is on a modern train with spacious seats and large windows to enjoy the passing winter scenery. The train's first stop by a frozen lake allows the pets the opportunity to stretch their legs with a little skating! Let's hope there are no frozen paws from this adventure! The trip then proceeds to skiing grounds with steep snowy slopes, cable cars, chair lifts and an Olympic ski jump! The pets can also turn their paws to snowboarding if they wish. The pets will meet a cute little critter also trying to ski. Back on board the train at the end of an action-packed day, the pets will have the thrill of seeing the Northern Lights as they travel home in the setting sun to that night's lodging. There they will enjoy a warming milky coffee and a bowl of hot soup by the wood-burning stove in the dining room, while admiring the snowy scene outside.
Dashing Through the Snow
While an aeroplane might get you to your final destination more quickly and efficiently, nothing can surpass the romance and sightseeing opportunities of a journey by train. Just try to make sure you get a window seat to capture the breath-taking views of snowy peaks!

@ McCabe's Forest Rail Track
“I thought last night's house was amazing, Winter," said Spotty.
"Yes, it was spacious yet so cosy at the same time, Spotty!" replied Winter. "I loved the fire. It was so hyggelig!"
McCabe's Forest Rail Track
Cold, bracing snowy weather is grand in theory. However, if your paws start to go numb and the chill creeps its way through your fur, it can start to lose its attraction. The answer is a train journey, where you can look out across sweeping white vistas or forests of trees lightly trimmed with snow, without having to get your scarf on!

"Yes, it was spacious yet so cosy at the same time, Spotty!" replied BRUNO. "I loved the fire. It was so hyggelig!"
Frozen Lake Rink
Nowadays rinks of artificial ice are commonplace in all countries. In former times skating could only be enjoyed when the weather was cold enough to freeze a lake or river to thick ice, allowing skaters to enjoy a game of curling or ice hockey or just enjoy pirouetting on the chilly, frozen surface!

“It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, Joker?” said Spotty."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books."
Joker shivered. “Brrrrrrrr! I think it would be a little too cold, Spotty! I like my creature comforts!"
Train Pane
One benefit of travelling by train as opposed to by car is the fun of being able to relax in one's seat and watch the passing towns and countryside.

"Good scheme! I'll dig my scarf out as well," said Spotty.
Steep Alpine Sweep
Being in the mountains has a huge benefit on both our physical and mental health. Skiers will talk about the adrenalin rush of the slopes but also the pleasure gained from being in nature and having social interaction. Beyond the physical benefits, exposure to the natural surroundings of the mountains during exercise appears to provide an additional boost to our psychological well-being and aids in recovering from stress.

“That sounds like a good plan, Gendry!" said Spotty. "Doing something relaxing is very hygge!"
Ski Row
After a tiring but exhilarating day on the slopes, it's time to doff our skis and enjoy the après ski evening, where we will cosily plot our next ski adventure! What plans we make! It's not necessary to have a lively party; a quiet hot milky coffee with two or three friends after a day's fun on the slopes gives us the chance to bond and get ready for the morrow's pleasures.

Spotty and Willow shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Spotty. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Willow. “This is my best side.”
Snow Drift Ski Lift
Skiing enthusiasts love it all, from the crisp, fresh bite of the air on arrival at the resort, the contrasting warmth of chalets; the icicles hanging from roofs; twinkling fairylights in the streets and the bursts of convivial laughter and applause from restaurants and bars where pets enjoy themselves after a day on the slopes!

Skiing Adventure Starts
You and your fellow pets may prefer to mostly ski together, but perhaps sometimes the more advanced skiers will tackle a challenging route down the mountain and you then meet at the bottom of the slope. A shared love and appreciation for snow makes for the perfect, spectacular and memorable holiday on the slopes.

Spotty good-naturedly took charge of Pinky Tuscadero'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 Spotty helped her put everything back in her rucksack.

Serene Piano Room
If you incline towards a clean, minimalist look, then white walls are the perfect base. The hallmark of this peaceful and uncluttered look is lots of white—particularly on the walls—with touches of muted brown, blue and cream on the elaborate rug also have a calming influence, while the view to the garden outside and the piano add a serene touch.
