@ An Adventure Begins! FengShui and Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly) have been given a free map to help them enjoy their Winter Tour! Before unfolding it, they read the cover: Full Steam Ahead Today's trip starts with the pets being picked up by motor vehicles. They try to catch sight of signposts to give a clue to their destination! Arriving at the train station, they climb aboard the Winter Express steam engine for a tour through a winter wonderland! The train stops for them to stretch paws, flippers and wings exploring a path through a snowy forest and on the way back they encounter a little creature clad in red and white trying out his skis! Back on board the journey through winter vistas continues until sunset. The train puffs its way across a stunning viaduct and on into the mist, before pulling up at the station where it is just a short distance to that night's house. Here the pets can explore the spacious interior including the library and wind down from their enjoyable trip out with hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. An Adventure Begins! Who says that winter can't be a time for a fun adventure? Not the friends who make up Pets n Friends! for them it is "full steam ahead" as they make their way on a snowy day to the southern train station where a day of fun will begin! These adventurers even have the windows down in their van to allow the snowflakes to fall on their faces, feet, paws, etc.!
While wandering in Winter, you met Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly).
FengShui shook paws with Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly) the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!

@ Arrow Pointing Midnight love looked up from her map. "How is hygge pronounced, FengShui?" she asked. “You say it like HOO-ga" replied FengShui. "It's a Danish word but it's used in Norway, too." Arrow Pointing As our friends settle in on the train, they notice the directional sign outside their windows. They smile at one another as they know this arrow points towards a fun adventure!
While wandering in Winter, you met Midnight love.
FengShui shook paws with Midnight love the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ And They're Off! “It would be great fun to camp in the snow overnight, wouldn't it, Bindy?” said FengShui."In the morning you'd fill your kettle with snow and boil it suspended from a tripod of sticks, like they do in books." Bindy shivered. “Brrrrrrrr! I think it would be a little too cold, FengShui! I like my creature comforts!" And They're Off! With the long, loud sound of the train's whistle, the train lurches forward with a jolt and a series of chugs increasing rapidly while steam pours over the top and down the sides of each passenger car! Our friends settle into their seats with wide smiles!
While wandering in Winter, you met Bindy.
FengShui shook paws with Bindy the Brown Funky Monkey. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowy Landscape jimkitty mused over the itinerary. “Steam trains are so romantic, aren't they, FengShui?” he said. "Why aren't they still in use, seeing as they're so powerful, too?" FengShui considered this. “I think they're quite high maintenance compared to a modern train, jimkitty!" Snowy Landscape They don't stay fully in their seats for long as the beautiful winter landscape fills the windows! The trees seem to have caught every snowflake possible to add "frosting" to their trunks and branches while the ground between the train and the trees is pure white and untouched by any paw prints! A toot of the train's whistle makes this moment magical!
While wandering in Winter, you met jimkitty.
FengShui shook paws with jimkitty the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Rugged Terrain “Nothing too energetic or alarming about today's excursion, FengShui!” remarked Kitty. "Just a gentle paw-stretching walk in a nice wood." FengShui grinned. “Thank goodness! Your screams as we descended from the top of that rollercoaster at the fairground last autumn are ringing in my ears still!" Rugged Terrain As the train continues steadily on its journey, our friends notice some terrain that isn't as smooth as previously viewed. The remains of a lone pine tree without limbs and needles stands in stark contrast to the fuller trees they had just seen - reminding our friends that there is a cycle to life. The bright sunshine and blue skies brighten their spirits as they travel on.
While wandering in Winter, you met Kitty.
FengShui shook paws with Kitty the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Mountain Pass "What happens when you cross a viaduct with a train, PHOENIX?" asked FengShui. "I don't know, what?" "You get to the other side." Mountain Pass Our day-trip adventurers notice tall, jagged mountains in the distance, with hints of a glacier on the side of one range. They wonder what it would be like to ride snow machines down into the midst of the mountain pass. Another toot of the whistle gets them ready for what's next!
While wandering in Winter, you met PHOENIX.
FengShui shook paws with PHOENIX the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
@ Mountainside Cabins "What happens when you cross a viaduct with a train, Moe?" asked FengShui. "I don't know, what?" "You get to the other side." Mountainside Cabins Pressing their noses against the windows, they now see several cabins tucked into the foothills of the mountain range, practically buried in snow! The tall evergreen trees point to the sky like snowy rockets ready to blast off into the wild blue yonder! A closer look reveals a path to the side of the first home, letting our friends know that those who live here have things under control and can still get out and about. What fun it would be to sled down these slopes!!
While wandering in Winter, you met Moe.
FengShui shook paws with Moe the Elf Baby. They both received one silver mole!
@ Off-roading! “Pass me the binoculars, FengShui!” said purple. "I think that's a Canada goose just taking off over there!" Off-roading! The train makes a scheduled stop at a crossroads where the passengers are invited to take a stretch and walk down a dirt path for horse-drawn sleighs. Our friends enjoy the opportunity to breathe the fresh, crisp air and are delighted to see some fall leaves still hanging from some trees while others are covered with white! As they walk a little distance from the train, the sound of the train's steam can be heard behind them.
While wandering in Winter, you met purple.
FengShui shook paws with purple the Purple hippo. They both received one silver mole!
@ Swooshing! “If there's time at the end when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," Tester 3 said, offering FengShui a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself. “That sounds like a good plan, Tester 3!" said FengShui. Swooshing! What's that sound? It isn't the train's steam billowing! Swoosh. Swoosh. Swish, Swish. All at once, a local resident comes popping through the trees, almost knocking our friends over! This little gnome is having a fun, adventuresome day as well as he skis out from one side of the path, hitting a mound of snow that sends him sailing slightly in the air, past our friends, and then lands on the path's other side, disappearing into the trees. Swoosh. Swoosh. Swish. Swish.
While wandering in Winter, you met Tester 3.
FengShui shook paws with Tester 3 the Strawberry Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
@ All Aboard! "This is fabulous, grey," enthused FengShui. "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, FengShui!" said grey. All Aboard! After some conversation of having just been plowed into by the little gnome skier, the three toots of the whistle announce that it's time for passengers to make their way back to the train and get on board for the next leg of their adventure! With snow now falling, it makes the somewhat hurried scurry a bit of fun as they try to catch snowflakes on their tongues!
While wandering in Winter, you met grey.
FengShui shook paws with grey the Ragdoll Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snow Covered Mountains matty mused over the itinerary. “Steam trains are so romantic, aren't they, FengShui?” she said. "Why aren't they still in use, seeing as they're so powerful, too?" FengShui considered this. “I think they're quite high maintenance compared to a modern train, matty!" Snow Covered Mountains As the train lurches forward once again, there is no want for wonders to behold! Our travelers are blessed to take in the sweeping vista of another mountain range and the valley of snow that seems to flow into its rocks and rills like a river!
While wandering in Winter, you met matty.
FengShui shook paws with matty the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Mountain Village Hera was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as FengShui unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which he succeeded in knocking Hera’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped Hera. “We’re about to pose beside this amazing scene—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up PDQ!” Mountain Village Off in the distance our travelers see a little village at the base of this mountain range. They can't help but wonder what the lives of the pets that live there must be like, waking up to such majestic mountains, beautiful trees, and sweeping snow!
While wandering in Winter, you met Hera.
FengShui shook paws with Hera the Yellow Lovable Labrador. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowy Village “You've got to admit, it takes real skills to drive a steam locomotive, FengShui,” said Wawatay. "It could take years to learn the various jobs." "Well, yes, Wawatay, I don't doubt that," said FengShui considering the matter. “But, you know, things have moved on, haven't they?" Snowy Village Our travelers are able to get more than a glimpse of the possibilities as the train takes them even closer to another village where they peer out of their windows into the windows of the homes before them, wondering whether the pets who live there are enjoying hot chocolate and popcorn on this chilly day!
While wandering in Winter, you met Wawatay.
FengShui shook paws with Wawatay the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Foggy Viewpoint Sugar Candy pondered over the book about steam engines she had purchased from the station. “Some years ago this chap at the York National Railway Museum cooked an entire Christmas dinner in the driver's cab of a moving steam train. Incredible, isn't it, FengShui?” “Really, Sugar Candy? Did he go for Delia Smith or Gordon Ramsay?" replied FengShui jestingly. "Neither. Jamie Oliver, actually," replied Sugar Candy, a little on her dignity. Foggy Viewpoint The train's whistle toots again, alerting our travelers of another wonderful view coming up - that of being at the top of one such mountain and looking down at the tops of trees on the slopes below, as well as the top of a cloud no doubt filled with snow for those below!
While wandering in Winter, you met Sugar Candy.
FengShui shook paws with Sugar Candy the Spirit Bear. They both received one silver mole!
@ Sunset Over a Pond “Don't you think it would be great to cook your lunch on the back of a shovel in the firebox, like they used to do, FengShui?” Ivory asked. "What a fun way to prepare a baked potato or a fried egg!" FengShui shuddered slightly. “Wouldn't the food be a bit, you know, gritty, Ivory?" Sunset Over a Pond After the train makes its way down the mountain range, another whistle toot draws our friendly pets' attention to a frozen pond, covered in snow with a beautiful sunset taking place off in the distance! The wooded slope, now silhouetted by the eventide, adds to the visual beauty of the sun, clouds, and blue sky overhead!
While wandering in Winter, you met Ivory.
FengShui shook paws with Ivory the Leopard gecko. They both received one silver mole!
@ Mountain Top Sunset “You've got to admit, it takes real skills to drive a steam locomotive, FengShui,” said Tigger - ROAR!. "It could take years to learn the various jobs." "Well, yes, Tigger - ROAR!, I don't doubt that," said FengShui considering the matter. “But, you know, things have moved on, haven't they?" Mountain Top Sunset The train takes a climb to the top of another mountain where our travelers get a birds-eye view of the snow-filled clouds and hillsides below them. What a feast for the eyes!
While wandering in Winter, you met Tigger - ROAR!.
FengShui shook paws with Tigger - ROAR! the Tiger. They both received one silver mole!
@ Lone Cabin FengShui opened his rucksack to find his hat. Daiwik Bhavatu could see FengShui 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?” Daiwik Bhavatu asked FengShui. Lone Cabin As the train makes its way down this mountain, our pets notice a quaint little cabin all to itself on the hillside, about to become enveloped with the clouds filled with snow. The sun's yellow glow still permeates through the thick clouds making for a neat treat to stare at!
While wandering in Winter, you met Daiwik Bhavatu.
FengShui shook paws with Daiwik Bhavatu the Brown Hamster. They both received one silver mole!
@ Deer in the Distance “Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cold, FengShui!” said Mae. “Can you hold my gloves and map while I dig out my scarf?" FengShui good-naturedly took charge of Mae'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 scarf right at the bottom. This she donned and then FengShui helped her put everything back in her rucksack. Deer in the Distance At the base of the mountain, there was one patch of land that hadn't yet been touched by the aforementioned snow-filled clouds. Gazing down the side track, not only were the remnants of fall still visible with various colors of leaves on the ground, but a lone deer stops its feeding to look up and greet the passersby on the train.
While wandering in Winter, you met Mae.
FengShui shook paws with Mae the Angel Wing Butterfly. They both received one silver mole!
@ Viaduct View “A picture of this would look lovely printed on Christmas cards, wouldn't it, FengShui?” Midnight Majesty said. “It certainly would, Midnight Majesty!" said FengShui. Viaduct View As the train's whistle toots again, and the pets see what's coming up ahead - they know that their day-trip is nearing its end. In front of you, the tracks lead across a long and high viaduct with incredible views on both sides of their passenger car. The friends realize that this was how their adventure began that morning: going through a viaduct, but much smaller and the view not as magnificent.
While wandering in Winter, you met Midnight Majesty.
FengShui shook paws with Midnight Majesty the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Day's End “Don't you think it would be great to cook your lunch on the back of a shovel in the firebox, like they used to do, FengShui?” Ugie asked. "What a fun way to prepare a baked potato or a fried egg!" FengShui shuddered slightly. “Wouldn't the food be a bit, you know, gritty, Ugie?" Day's End As the train's whistle blows long and loud repeatedly, and its speed slows down to a low chug-a-chug-a-chug, you know that your final destination - the north station is in front of you. With the sun setting and a cold mist settling in, the pets are glad they've made this journey together!
While wandering in Winter, you met Ugie.
FengShui shook paws with Ugie the Black Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Destination Digs "Sassy, did you hear about the pet who took the 6 o'clock train home? He had to give it back!" FengShui doubled up with mirth at his own joke. Destination Digs After disembarking from the train, the pets make their way to the cozy, warm hotel to call it a day. And what a day it has been! This wonderful place boasts several lounges where friends can stretch their legs (and tails), such as this woodsy-looking area with gentle lights, spacious couches, and soft pillows.
While wandering in Winter, you met Sassy.
FengShui shook paws with Sassy the Black Lovable Labrador. They both received one silver mole!
@ Bright Room “You've got to admit, it takes real skills to drive a steam locomotive, FengShui,” said Petunia. "It could take years to learn the various jobs." "Well, yes, Petunia, I don't doubt that," said FengShui considering the matter. “But, you know, things have moved on, haven't they?" Bright Room Another lounge complete with reading materials is bright and reminds them of the snowy landscapes they traveled through during the day. The carpet is soft and white as snow, but definitely not as cold - perfect for grabbing a sofa pillow and stretching out on!
While wandering in Winter, you met Petunia.
FengShui shook paws with Petunia the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Fireside Room “British steam engines always had a kettle on a shelf above the firebox so the fireman could make tea on the go,” remarked shyla. "Sounds like they had their priorities right!" said FengShui. Fireside Room Another favorite lounge offers the warmth and crackles of a roaring fireplace, a neat sound after hearing the clackity-clack of the train throughout the day! It also offers a big row of windows to look out at the snowfall from a warm and safe distance.
While wandering in Winter, you met shyla.
FengShui shook paws with shyla the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Hot Chocolate Deluxe “A picture of this would look lovely printed on Christmas cards, wouldn't it, FengShui?” Aletheia said. “It certainly would, Aletheia!" said FengShui. Hot Chocolate Deluxe What can be better than sitting in any of these fine lounges and enjoying the warmth of friendship and a good mug of hot chocolate, complete with whipped cream, chocolate "dust" and a milk chocolate stick to stir things with? Each of these pets would say, "Enjoying such with the best of friends!"
While wandering in Winter, you met Aletheia.
FengShui shook paws with Aletheia the Midnight Mauve Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
@ Good Reads "Elfling, did you hear about the pet who took the 6 o'clock train home? He had to give it back!" FengShui doubled up with mirth at his own joke. Good Reads In addition to getting to stretch out with some hot chocolate in their favorite spot in the hotel, these friends can also opt for some quiet moments of just slurping through the whipped topping and enjoying a good book to end the evening with. What's on this shelf?
While wandering in Winter, you met Elfling.
FengShui shook paws with Elfling the Elf Baby. They both received one silver mole!
@ End of the Day FengShui is tired out and ready to go home when Milagros comes along. "Wow! You find a special prize!" says Milagros. FengShui turns round and found it was just behind them! Frosty Tree When freezing fog and excess moisture meet with the perfect temperature, a picturesque winter wonderland is the result. This frosty display of crystalline beauty is either referred to as hoar frost or rime ice depending on the weather conditions. End of the Day While the excursion may have been a long and chilly one, as the friends continue to enjoy their hot chocolate (whipped topping all gone!), they look over some of their mementos that they picked up at the little stops the train was able to make along the way. They reminisce and smile with thankful, contented hearts.
While wandering in Winter, you met Milagros.
FengShui shook paws with Milagros the Angel Wing Butterfly. They both received one silver mole!
