Last winter she had a plan.
Lucy fell in love with tumbledown Rosemary Cottage as a child. So thirty years on, when she loses her city job and discovers the cottage is for sale, it feels like fate. She’ll raise her children in Burley Bridge and transform the cottage into a B&B with her husband. But a year can change everything . . . Now Lucy is juggling two children and a B&B, but on her own. Christmas looks set to be their last on Rosemary Lane – until she meets James, a face from her past and someone who might offer a different kind of future . . .
Should Lucy leave the cottage behind? Or could this winter on Rosemary Lane be the start of something new?

From the synopsis alone we know this book is a bit of me all over! A countryside b&b yes please.
Lucy has such fun memories of run down Rosemary Cottage, with her gang of summer friends - stealing berries and causing mischief. So when her life changes and she is made redundant around the time this is up for sale, its fate.
She can fulfil her dream of owning the cottage and running a b&b from it with the help of husband. Yet again though life has a funny way of changing though, and in a tragic turn of events Lucy finds herself trying to cope alone, that is until a familiar face from her childhood turns up....
I adored this book, mainly because i adored Lucy - i felt a sense of support for her, the way it was written - you was drawn into her, i cried with her, i smiled with her, i wanted to give her advice and she tried to find hersef once more. I loved Rosemarry Cottage & the place as a whole, its the sort of place you want to visit, i was desperate to visit the bookshop especially.
This was a brill read and paced brilliantly giving us time to watch the characters and their relationships develop, it left me feeling warmed up on this chilly day.
