@ Community Center Red Velvet and Bolly now know where to find Fantastic Buildings, as they have been given a free map! Before unfolding it, they read the cover: Idyll The pets will gather on the picnic benches outside the community centre before commencing their country ramble. Let's hope those lunch bags remain intact for a few more hours! The tour encompasses country buildings from watermills and windmills to barns, some unusual stone buildings, including a lovely hobbit-type dwelling, and there are some scenes of chocolate-box prettiness. Those pets who have the energy left might like to swim out to the island in the centre of the lake or climb up to a fun tree-house! Others may prefer to explore a formal house and gardens or just relax by the beach! Community Center Attention all pets! Will each group of travelers please gather together at the picnic tables? The horse-drawn carriages will be arriving soon to take you on your tour of Idyll.

@ Quiet Country Road "Do you think it's time for a sit-down and perhaps a small snack out of our lunch bags?" asked get-a-job-bring-me-a-mouse-and-a-20. Red Velvet was very willing to join get-a-job-bring-me-a-mouse-and-a-20 in this plan. Quiet Country Road Sheep have just been let out to graze near this quiet country road. The morning fog should begin to lift soon, but there is still plenty of great scenery to behold. I hope you brought your camera!

@ Idyll Creek Mill Daisy studied the route map. “We've got a very varied route here, haven't we, Red Velvet?” she said. “We certainly do, Daisy! Stand by with the gloves and scarves, and perhaps the wellington boots and a waterproof hat for the other side!" Idyll Creek Mill Abandoned but not forgotten, this mill was once a very busy place. The creek is all but a trickle now and the milling is now done in a nearby factory. Oh to have seen the mill in its heyday.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Daisy.
Red Velvet shook paws with Daisy the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Weathered Stable “Some of these places are so quaint!” Sugar Candy said. “Yes," said Red Velvet, "and then the next stop has something really awe-inspiring!"

@ Old Stone Homestead “A picture of this would look lovely printed on Christmas cards, wouldn't it, Red Velvet?” queenielove said. “It certainly would, queenielove!" said Red Velvet. Old Stone Homestead When you see old abandoned homesteads like this does your mind try to imagine what the dwellers' lives were like? Who lived here? What did they enjoy doing? Why did they leave? I want to know!
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met queenielove.
Red Velvet shook paws with queenielove the Black Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Country Chateau Red Velvet opened his rucksack to change his hat. Oreo could see Red Velvet had a large, floppy sunhat, a balaclava, a rain hat, a woolly bobble hat, a beanie, a deerstalker hat and a swimming cap! “Did you bring a fez too?” Oreo asked Red Velvet. Country Chateau Quiet seclusion at its finest, the residents of this grand old chateau have all the creature comforts for a comfy country lifestyle.

@ Old Log Cabin “If there's time at the end when we get back to the community centre, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," Jillie said, offering Red Velvet a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself. “That sounds like a good plan, Jillie!" said Red Velvet. Old Log Cabin Crafted the old-fashioned way, each log in this old log cabin was harvested from the forest, peeled by hand, and painstakingly stacked to make one of the most durable little homes in the valley.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Jillie.
Red Velvet shook paws with Jillie the Green Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
@ Dutch Windmill “Shall we stop and have our lunch here, Red Velvet?” asked cuddles . “Yes, it seems a good spot, cuddles! Let's perch on those treestumps there!" Dutch Windmill A gentle creak and a soft ‘whoosh’ as the sails zip past is all you hear when standing close to a windmill. These days, it’s easy to forget that a century or so ago these iconic Dutch windmills were quite common and very versatile.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met cuddles.
Red Velvet shook paws with cuddles the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Weathered Farmhouse Red Velvet is enjoying Fantastic Buildings when Barnaby comes along. "Look! A special prize!" says Barnaby. Red Velvet looks down and sees something valuable. Barnaby generously lets Red Velvet keep it! Verdant Summer Grass One of the joys of a summer drive in the country is seeing the beauty of the verdant grasses in the meadows and fields where little pets frolic and play. Weathered Farmhouse Wish we could stop and sit for a spell and listen to the farmer who lives here tell us about "The Good Ole Days." I can picture sitting around the fireplace, hearing the sounds of a crackling fire as he tells us story after story when this farm was a bustling place.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Barnaby.
Red Velvet shook paws with Barnaby the Chocolate Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
@ Homey Hacienda Kathleen was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Red Velvet unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which he succeeded in knocking Kathleen’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped Kathleen. “We’re about to pose beside this amazing scene—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!” Homey Hacienda Is it time for a siesta? Or maybe a fiesta? I'd be up for either in this homey hacienda. I'd celebrate every day if I had that grand view to wake up to!
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Kathleen.
Red Velvet shook paws with Kathleen the Majestic Monarch Butterfly. They both received one silver mole!
@ Bluff Dwelling Choose a name glanced at the map. “Oh, Red Velvet, perhaps we could do some beach yoga at the end!" “I don't think so, Choose a name! Not with everyone watching!" replied Red Velvet. Bluff Dwelling This quaint little home with a sod roof sits atop a bluff with a gorgeous view no matter where you stand on the property. With mountains and valleys, the location is a picture of life.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Choose a name.
Red Velvet shook paws with Choose a name the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
@ Purple Mountain Prairie “Shall we stop and have our lunch here, Red Velvet?” asked Rusty . “Yes, it seems a good spot, Rusty! Let's perch on those treestumps there!"

This view certainly brings the song lyrics "purple mountain majesty" to life!
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Rusty.
Red Velvet shook paws with Rusty the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Snowy Stone Cottage “We get to the sea at the end, Red Velvet,” said dragolia said. “My neighbour goes wild swimming, you know. That means going for a dip in the sea in the early morning when the water's very cold. Apparently it's very invigorating." "Well, you won't catch me doing that, dragolia!" said Red Velvet. Snowy Stone Cottage Bundle up under your blanket because our carriage ride is about to get chilly since we have journeyed closer to the base of the mountain range where we will spend the evening in stone cottages like this one.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met dragolia.
Red Velvet shook paws with dragolia the Green Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Woodshed of Warmth Mystery studied the route map. “We've got a very varied route here, haven't we, Red Velvet?” she said. “We certainly do, Mystery! Stand by with the gloves and scarves, and perhaps the wellington boots and a waterproof hat for the other side!" Woodshed of Warmth Off to the woodshed we trod to bring in some fuel for the little wood-burning stove so we can stay warm tonight!

@ Hillside Homes “Pass me the binoculars, Red Velvet!” said Abby. "I think that's a Canada goose just taking off over there!" Hillside Homes Leaving the snowy mountains behind us we encounter these charming thatch-roof homes tucked near the base of a steep hillside shrouded in fog. Seems like it would be an idyllic place to see sheep grazing behind the homes.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Abby.
Red Velvet shook paws with Abby the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Lonesome Pine Ridge Red Velvet is admiring some Fantastic Buildings when Batty comes along. "Look! Another special prize!" says Batty. Red Velvet looks down and sees it. Batty generously lets Red Velvet keep it! Verdant Summer Treeline 2 One of the joys of a summer drive in the country is seeing the pastoral beauty of the rows of verdant roadside trees as they form a canopy over you, shading you from the rays of the hot summer sun and refreshing your soul. Lonesome Pine Ridge Reminiscent of the Appalachian Mountains the pets that live in this misty plot of land are still carving out an existence farming the land with rudimentary farming tools. These simple folk prefer it that way and are unfussed with modern 'contraptions,' as they call them.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Batty.
Red Velvet shook paws with Batty the Merry Mole. They both received one silver mole!
@ Fairy House “It would be great fun to camp overnight, wouldn't it, Bella?” said Red Velvet. Bella shivered. “Brrrrrrrr! I think it would be a little too cold, Red Velvet!

While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Bella.
Red Velvet shook paws with Bella the Green Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
@ Dwarf Cottage “Oh wow, Red Velvet, there's a butterfly!” Macka cried out. “It must be a Red Admiral, then, because I don't know of any others that are around this late in the year," replied Red Velvet knowledgeably. Dwarf Cottage The cottage of the six dwarves that you have never heard of; Jumpy, Zippy, Floppy, Cranky, Fuzzy, and Bert. One day on their way home from work, they bought some beans from a kid named Jack. They planted them in the yard and the stalk grew into a gigantic tree, engulfing their cottage. At first, they wondered how to get rid of it but now it's "grown on them" because they are making lots of money from tourists wanting to climb it.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Macka.
Red Velvet shook paws with Macka the Macaw. They both received one silver mole!
@ Quaint Treehouse While Red Velvet paused to drink in the view, Lady Aelfgifu started scrabbling in her rucksack for her portable, foldable camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Lady Aelfgifu?” asked Red Velvet. “We’ll need to get going in a minute or we’ll be left behind!” Quaint Treehouse Treehouses are not just for kittens, cubs, and pups anymore. This treehouse is a real rental home for adults who wish to get away for a little rest and relaxation in fun style.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Lady Aelfgifu.
Red Velvet shook paws with Lady Aelfgifu the Green Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Old Grist Mill "Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Red Velvet," said Lilly, "for this experience alone?" Red Velvet, admiring the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!

While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Lilly.
Red Velvet shook paws with Lilly the Pink Forest Spider. They both received one silver mole!
@ The Shire While Red Velvet paused to drink in the view, Choose a name started scrabbling in her rucksack for her portable, foldable camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Choose a name?” asked Red Velvet. “We’ll need to get going in a minute or we’ll be left behind!” The Shire Our horse and carriage feels right at home as we rumble past the little home where we expect little hobbit-like creatures to be puttering about in the garden and talking of grand adventures. I wonder if an old wizard can be found nearby setting off fireworks.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Choose a name.
Red Velvet shook paws with Choose a name the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
@ Mountainside Church Moon Dancer mused over her map. “I'd like to try building a fairy house, Red Velvet.

@ Grand Country Living Red Velvet is considering the merits of another Fantastic Building when Grumple comes along. "Wow! That completes the set!" says Grumple. Red Velvet is amazed to have collected all three items! Verdant Summer Treeline 1 One of the joys of a summer drive in the country is seeing the pastoral beauty of the rows of verdant roadside trees as they form a canopy over you, shading you from the rays of the hot summer sun and refreshing your soul. Grand Country Living Who says living in the country has to be a bare-bones lifestyle? Not the pets who live here. They prefer living in a grand home at the end of a cobblestone lane with no noisy neighbors to disrupt the idyllic setting of the castle and formal garden.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Grumple.
Red Velvet shook paws with Grumple the Blue Thunder Monster Baby. They both received one silver mole!
