An unlikely friendship grows down on the allotment…
With Frank’s family so far away, he passes the time on his beloved allotment. When the plot next door becomes vacant, he really looks forward to meeting his new neighbour. Until she arrives that is!
Isabella and her cheeky chickens soon disrupt Frank’s peaceful routine. Things come to a head when Frank discovers Isabella in his shed, but he misunderstands the reason why.
Featuring a gentle mix of humour, music and storytelling, this charming tale about a lonely old man and an Eastern European girl shows us that true friendship can grow in the most unlikely conditions.
