Welcome to Willow Cottage – throw open the shutters, let in
the sea breeze and make yourself completely at home. Oh, and please do leave a
comment in the Guestbook.
As
landlady of Willow Cottage, the young widow Annie Butterworth is always on hand
with tea, sympathy or strong Norfolk cider - whatever her colourful array of
guests require. A flick through the messages in the leather-bound cottage
guestbook gives a tantalizing glimpse into the lives of everyone who passes
through her doors.
This
includes Annie herself - especially now celebrity crime writer Oliver Black, is
back in town. He might grace the covers of gossip magazines with a different
glamorous supermodel draped on his arm every week, but to Annie, he’s always
just been Olly, the man who Annie shared her first kiss with.
Through
the pages of the Guestbook Annie and Olly, along with all the guests that
arrive at the seaside retreat, struggle with love, loss, mystery, joy,
happiness, guilt…and the odd spot of naked rambling!
Forget
sending postcards saying ‘wish you were here’ - one visit to Willow Cottage and you’ll wish
you could stay forever.
There is a review today on http://fairytaleendingbookreviews.wordpress.com/
There is a huge range
of colourful guests that come to stay at Willow Cottage, famous, funny, sweet,
romantic, crazy, eccentric, rude. But
what if some of the guests were someone we knew really well.
Just for fun and as we
are coming to the end of the blog tour now, I wanted to invite some of my
favourite book characters to stay at Willow Cottage, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley
and Hermione Granger. Although when
writing anything Harry Potter related I knew I needed to call in an
expert. There was only one person to
call. So the gorgeous Victoria from
Victoria Loves Books came swooping in on her broom to help me.
Saturday 14th May
Ron and Hermione Weasley
We
arrived early this morning, Ron wanted to fly here, honestly!! Ron knows I'm not very good at it. But I
insisted we drive. Annie it is beautiful here, thank you so much for the
flowers and champagne to celebrate our honeymoon.
Hermione
Granger. I mean Weasley.
Hermione I told you, you could have sat on my broom. I promise I didn't mean to do a loop last time you got on.

RONALD WEASLEY!!! Don't you hide from me. WHY is Hedwig here with a note from Harry saying he will arrive in time for dinner? This was supposed to be our honeymoon.

Oh! Bloody hell. Erm sorry about that. It's just, well... The Ministry asked if we could maybe look into something while we happened to be here.
Happened to be here? OH Ron, you didn't book this honeymoon did you? The Ministry did. I can't believe I didn't realise. You owe me Ronald!
Hermione don't be mad at Ron, it was out of our hands. I promise if you help we can have this cleared up in no time and I can leave you to have a proper honeymoon.
Harry
Harry! Time for a quick game of Quidditch?

WEASLEY DON'T PUSH YOUR LUCK!!!
Hermione it was joke! Honestly Harry, girls. I still don't get them.
Hermione, The ministry want us to look at an escaped Death Eater, last seen in this area. Pretending to be a muggle no less! Come on, without you, me and Ron are about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Harry
Fine, FINE. I will help. But as soon as this is done you leave, then me and Ron can go back to relaxing.
Maybe one game of Quidditch before he goes??
Well I don't mind, I could probably stay around for a quick game...
NO you definitely haven't got time!
Monday:
Annie
I'm so sorry about the couch, it's just, well Ron's wand still isn't perfect
and well I don't think he quite meant to turn it into a cow. As soon as I find
it I will get it turned back into a couch, I mean a floral cow can't be that
hard to find…
Hermione

Yeah sorry about that Annie, stupid bloody wand...

Ron
Right
Harry who are we looking for exactly and what have they done? Also we aren't
going to be bumping into any dementors are we?
Hermione, I think I have found Lucius Malfoy, yeah you heard right, Malfoy! There is a cave on the beach and I'm almost positive that I saw someone in a cloak heading that way.... Who else could it be?
Ok, right well we need to come up with a plan. But Malfoy's dad? How on earth did he escape?
Harry I say we just head down there right now, surprise attack?
Ron

Ron I absolutely agree. Hermione’s plans never actually go to plan do they? Let’s go!
Tuesday:
Harry, Ron if you are playing Quidditch somewhere I will not be held responsible for my wand hand... Yes ok we found Lucius, doesn't mean you can run off and play. There is still that ruddy great big cow with flower print running wild!!
Hermione, ok yes we did play a little Quidditch, but whilst doing so we found the cow, it's now a couch again. I'm off, have a great honeymoon and come for dinner when you are back.
See ya Ron, try those romantic tips I told you about!
