@ Community Center
Antie and Kuro 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
“It would be great fun to camp overnight, wouldn't it, Choose a name ♡ Molly?” said Antie.
Choose a name ♡ Molly shivered. “Brrrrrrrr! I think it would be a little too cold, Antie! I like my creature comforts!"
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!

Episode 3/26

@ Idyll Creek Mill
“Some of these places are so quaint!” Choose a name said.
“Yes," said Antie, "and then the next stop has something really awe-inspiring!"
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.

Episode 4/26

@ Weathered Stable
“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," Lacy said, offering Antie a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Lacy!" said Antie.
Weathered Stable
The presence of the nearby fort ensures the safety of any horse that shelters in this stable for the night. The horses pulling all our carriages know this place well and give it 5-star rating.

@ Old Stone Homestead
Antie and Moon Dancer agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Antie and Moon Dancer exchanged opinions on which their favourite attraction had been so far!
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!

Episode 6/26

@ Country Chateau
“Shall we stop and have our lunch here, Antie?” asked Bella .
“Yes, it seems a good spot, Bella! Let's perch on those treestumps there!"

“It certainly would, Wrex!" said Antie.

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.

Episode 8/26

@ Dutch Windmill
“I could stay here forever, Antie,” said Emerald. “This is an amazing place!” “Well, you never know what lies ahead, Emerald. I wouldn't be surprised if the next stop is even better!” said Antie.
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.

Episode 9/26

@ Weathered Farmhouse
Antie is enjoying Fantastic Buildings when Bindy comes along. "Look! A special prize!" says Bindy. Antie looks down and sees something valuable. Bindy generously lets Antie 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.

Episode 10/26

@ Homey Hacienda
Antie and Fyzbana agreed that the variety of environments on their expedition was the best ever! Antie and Fyzbana exchanged opinions on which their favourite attraction had been so far!
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!

Episode 11/26

@ Bluff Dwelling
“Oh wow, Antie, there's a butterfly!” Arthur 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 Antie knowledgeably.
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.

Episode 12/26

@ Purple Mountain Prairie
“We get to the sea at the end, Antie,” said Bonny 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, Bonny!" said Antie.
Purple Mountain Prairie
Majestic purple mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for the vast prairie land and the old weathered barn. This view certainly brings the song lyrics "purple mountain majesty" to life!

Episode 13/26

@ Snowy Stone Cottage
“Pass me the binoculars, Antie!” said MooCow. "I think that's a Canada goose just taking off over there!"
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.

Episode 14/26

@ Woodshed of Warmth
“Let's just drink in this scene, shall we, Antie?” suggested Bella, sinking down on a convenient tree stump.
Antie agreed it was well worth spending some time there!
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!

“I don't think so, CatchThis18! Not with everyone watching!" replied Antie.
Dramatic Doorway
Now there's a room with a view! Seeing that makes me want to go out and decorate that tree for Christmas. You wanna come help?

Episode 16/26

@ Hillside Homes
Rhian mused over her map. “I'd like to try building a fairy house, Antie. I think that would be quite fun.”
“Well, when we get back, that's something you could certainly research doing, Rhian!"
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.

@ Lonesome Pine Ridge
Antie is admiring some Fantastic Buildings when Pickles comes along. "Look! Another special prize!" says Pickles. Antie looks down and sees it. Pickles generously lets Antie 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.

Episode 18/26

@ Fairy House
“Pass me the binoculars, Antie!” said mole. "I think that's a Canada goose just taking off over there!"

“I don't think so, Aaron! Not with everyone watching!" replied Antie.
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.

Episode 20/26

@ Quaint Treehouse
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Antie," said Baby, "for this experience alone?" Antie, admiring the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
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.

Episode 21/26

@ Old Grist Mill
Rascal was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Antie unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which she succeeded in knocking Rascal’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped Rascal. “We’re about to pose beside this amazing scene—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!”
Old Grist Mill
No longer in use, this old grist mill is one of many that can be found along the rivers that flow throughout Idyll. It stands as a memorial to a bygone era.

Episode 22/26

@ The Shire
Antie was excited to meet up again with Clarice. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them.
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.

Episode 23/26

Sit back and relax in these sturdy patio chairs and just enjoy the calm, gently flowing river and the water birds that dart in and out in search of a refreshing drink or snack.

Antie is considering the merits of another Fantastic Building when Moriarty comes along. "Wow! That completes the set!" says Moriarty. Antie 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.

Episode 26/26

@ Idyll
Antie has seen enough buildings to plan her own town, and is tired out. Jewel agrees it is time to go home and discuss which building they would most like to live in!
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!
Antie has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can take part in "Fantastic Buildings"!
