Let’s face it, Harry is not the man he was. His memory is going. Sometimes he can’t even get to the end of a …The past he can remember as if it were yesterday, though yesterday seems as distant as…And now? Well the present is the biggest mystery of all.

But he has his garden, and in his garden some things grow while other things whither and die. Past present and future are all jostling against one another for room. While Harry is forgetting his Grandson is busy making memories. He needs to know ‘What’s this?’ ‘What’s that?’ Who? When Why? How?

This is a story that is being forgotten and remembered at the same time. It is being lost and made. As the leaves fall from the branches of Harry’s fading memory they turn into the green shoots of his grandson’s new stories.
