STORY OUTLINE
Concerned about Ronās increasingly erratic behaviour after falling for a glamorous pedigree Ragdoll called Cookie, Weasley, Squeak and Serafina attempt to distract him by forming a feline singing group called The Gingernuts. As rehearsals begin for a possible performance at the local Live at the Point music sessions, the group struggles to find a suitable fourth member. A series of auditions brings everything from carpet-soiling chaos to unexpectedly brilliant musical talent, while Ron remains hopelessly distracted by Cookie.
The story blends small-town humour, musical parody and feline melodrama against the backdrop of Diamond Harbour during the Covid era.
BACKGROUND
This story was first published on my website on 14th November 2020 during the Covid-affected summer when the popular Live at the Point sessions on the Godley House grounds in Diamond Harbour were cancelled.
In the original online version, these events formed part of a single longer story. For The Woes of Weasley ā The Diary of an Orange Cat, the material was later divided into two separate chapters – The Gingernuts and Live at the Point.
