A portrait in words and pictures, of a garden in rural England that has become a wild life sanctuary. It is also the story of how one man realized a boyhood dream. Norman Thelwell was brought up in Birkenhead, in England's industrial north-west. One of his greatest childhood pleasures was to be taken for an outing in a rowing boat on a nearby lake. Ever since then, he has been in love with boats and water. Some thirty years later he began to realize his dream - to have a stretch of open water beside his own house, wher he might paint, fish, row, and above all - watch the changing light and seasons and the wild life of rural Hampshire.
