Missing house name a special wedding gift
Monday 14th February 2011, 2:29PM GMT.
When they got married, a friend made John and Angelique McConnell a special house name sign out of wood. But the couple have had to resort to displaying it on a piece of paper, and where it was fixed to their house remains empty, after someone took it. (Picture by Peter Frankland, 1093466)
A SPECIAL wedding present of a hand-made house sign has been taken from Angelique and John McConnell’s home.
It was made by a friend, Steven Winstanley, who hand-crafted a piece of oak to look like driftwood. He gave it to them just after they returned from their honeymoon over a year ago.
On it he had painted a picture of a stormy night with a Spanish Armada galleon and a mermaid luring the vessel inwards.
The property’s name, Siren Song, was painted on it in green writing.
