 Holidays were an important part of life for the Fendom family.   A holiday each August was usually spent in France, staying under canvas for many years, before deciding to enjoy the luxuries of a caravan.  Once their children had moved away, Terry and Marcia started to venture further afield, and have been to many diverse countries, including India, China, Cambodia, Thailand, Peru, New Zealand, Australia, America, Burma, South Africa and Zimbabwe.  However they still enjoyed going back to France as well.
-Having a long garden, there is really no choice but to get interested in gardening, so with their children growing up, Terry and Marcia must have decided to get more involved with one particular local organisation.  The name Fendom first appears in the list of members of the Loosley Row and Lacey Green Horticultural Society in 1992.  In March 2003 appeals were made (by Ginnie Brudenell and myself) for new Committee Members, and Terry was one of four who answered the call.   Most importantly, the Society had no Chairman, but by October Terry had been appointed as Chairman.   As most of us before him, he pleaded that he was no gardening expert, but I was able to assure him that we needed some-one to steer the ship, whilst having a good crew of volunteers doing the work.   I was able to tell him that Committee Meetings had always been enjoyable sessions, and I am assured that they continued to be with Terry at the helm, always held in a committee member's house.   Terry was keen to re-instate some social events which the society had run particularly well in the 1980s and early 1990s.  They once again built a good reputation, thanks to Terry's skill in recruiting new and enthusiastic committee members who were pleased to tackle the challenge.  The Annual Show also continued to be successful, again with new organisers being found when required.  The Horticultural Society also used to run regular Plant Stalls, particularly at the fondly remembered Village Days.  However it was difficult without a regular venue, so Terry suggested that the Plant Stall could be combined with National Mills Day, at the windmill, being at the most suitable time of year in the first half of May.  With the necessary permissions, this has now become a regular feature and is of mutual benefit to the Windmill and the Horticultural Society (I can confidently say this as Hon Sec of one, and President of the other).   During Terry's seven and a half years as Chairman, Terry and Marcia even hosted one demonstration meeting in their own back garden for the society.

-Otherwise, and over many years, many local people in our villages will probably know Terry and Marcia best from seeing them walking their dogs.   It was obvious that the dogs got their exercise along Pink Road at least twice every day of the year, whatever the weather would throw at them, and we all know that there cannot be a more extreme place to be out in bad weather than Pink Road.   Incidentally, it was usually obvious that one of them found it easier to control their dogs, and it was not Terry.

-An interest of Terry's from a young age was Motor Sport.   He used to rally a 'frog-eyed' Sprite with Terry at the wheel and his friend Doug Tuckett navigating, until the car was somehow driven into the side of a Welsh mountain.  Remarkably, this interest twice re-visited Terry during the last few weeks of his life.  Terry and Doug had lost contact, but I was pleased to be able to put them back in touch so they could meet again at the beginning of October 2011.   A week before then, Terry had made his last outing, to the Kop Hill Car Climb, where he was able to spend three hours sitting at the top of the hill watching the cars and motorbikes going past.

 Terry was diagnosed with cancer in January 2011, but by May he decided to stop his chemotherapy treatment.   In the same month Terry celebrated his 70th birthday, and in July he attended the Horticultural Society's 30th Anniversary event.   Thanks to Iain Rennie Nurses, and Marcia's care, Terry was able to stay at home for most of the time until he died on 17th October.
