Winter Colour

Despite the dull days, and gloominess of lock down, nature still takes its course and it cheers you up to see heather and the snowdrops starting to flower.

Surely, signs of the good things to come.

Watch out for details of our Early Spring Flower photo competition.

TERRY STENT RIP

Just before Christmas we were saddened to learn of the death in hospital of Terry Stent.

He was a very long term member of LODHS, and for many years was an enthusiastic exhibitor (and a prize winner) at our shows. There was always fierce competition between, amongst others, Terry, Roy, Rosemary and Len. All, now sadly, no longer with us.

Recently received through the letterbox was the latest catalogue from seed merchants D T Brown. This was a

timely reminder that Terry acted as the agent for our Members to obtain their seeds at competitive prices. Every autumn orders were collected, and then early the following year Terry would distribute them. A quite formidable task, but always cheerfully undertaken.

The funeral was a family affair and took place at St Johns, Hurst Green. A memorial service will be held when the present health emergency is over.

May he rest in peace
