2018. Stoke Newington, London. Winston, who stays with his partner Lewis at House no. 79, is fed up of his new neighbour Bernice’s snooty attitude. Sadly, numbers 79 and 77 share the back garden, and the Winston and Bernice can’t meet eye to eye on their plans for the space.
However, when some memories from the past are rejuvenated courtesy some mysterious letters and photographs, Winston decides to turn the plot into a community garden, just as it was in the past. Now it is up to Bernice to decide if she wants to work with him, or go against him, or simply ignore him.
The story comes to us from two timelines, with third person perspectives of Winston and Bernice in the contemporary timeline, and some other key characters from the 1970s timeline.
