Join us at the lake, as Steve reminisces on his unique childhood experiences of growing up in a remote English country house; a rambling (near empty) manor home set amid vast acres of green woodland. As a young boy given unlimited run of this magical Narnia-esque landscape - the formal grounds and manicured lawns of the manor house itself, with its walled Victorian gardens and vast greenhouses; the carriage houses and courtyard stables; an oak paneled library, shelved floor-to-ceiling with precious leather-bound volumes; unending miles of creaking dusty attics filled with boxed treasures - all these truly incredible playgrounds of Steve's childhood helped to fuel and develop a wonderfully creative imagination.
