Dear Anke,Thank you for the seeds. We found them on Wednesday. I planted them in old trays from the shed, but ants got some. My dad says it's funny you sent mountain ash, because they used to grow here before we came.Yours faithfully,Frederick ForthWhen Anke launches her green balloon with an envelope of seeds attached, and Freddie finds it, they have no idea how the event will change their lives and transform the bare hills of Freddie's farm for ever.This city girl and country boy are as different as two people can be, but Freddie's first blunt letter begins a friendship that grows over the years, through all the adventures and challenges that come their way.Once you've read their letters, Freddie and Anke will be friends you'll never forget.
