And something do with Mum's silver necklace. Amy doesn't remember any of that. Her very first memory is our wolfhound Ivan knocking her over in a puddle. Or it might be eating a boiled egg, and looking at the daisies on her kitchen tablecloth."</p> <p>Amy Connell and Lan Honey are having the best childhood ever. They live on a 78-acre farm in the South West of England, with sisters and brothers, other kids, chickens, goats, three dogs, and even a calf, called Gabriella Christmas.</p> <p>"Honeys in the Farmhouse, Connells in the Cowhouse, Hodges in the Carthouse . . ."</p> <p>The three sets of parents are best friends who came to Frith from the city, and are learning, year after year, how to farm the land.</p> <p>Free and unsupervised, Amy and Lan play with axes and climb on haystacks, but there is grownup danger at Frith they don't see.
