They couldn't have kids of their own but sought out young creatures from all walks of life to join them in their artistic endeavours. Woodcraft consumed them: so much wood, so little time. Commercial reality reigned supreme and the Fanny empire began to grow. Soon they were selling all kinds of lumber, from fence panels and hanging baskets to wicker chairs and summer houses.
Demand for the Fanny brand was strong so they branched out growing herbs and flowers and trees and all kinds of garden stuff.
Even though Horrance died in a tragic saw mill accident his legacy is there for all to enjoy. From these humble beginnings a small and alternative community sprang and became The Garden of Light and Shade we know today. Nothing now remains of the Fanny empire and years later his old workshop is now home to the Damside Plaza - The Gardenšs newest shopping precinct. A small plaque on a statue of a banana rowing a boat in the central square commemorates this.
Legend has it that a magical book, etched by Horrance's own teeth is still in existence buried deep somewhere in the Garden.
But of course this is all just a rumour.
