The Craigs: May 2007

Coppeard & Craig United in Suffolk (28.04.07)

On the most perfect April weekend you could wish for, ITFC mate Phil Coppeard married his kiwi fiancée Suzanne Craig in god's country (a phrase apparentely stolen from New Zealand?).

The setting was Hintlesham in Suffolk and in particular Hintlesham Hall.

The youngest Craig was in attendance (hiding at the back of the room) and hoped she'd be on her best behaviour during the wedding ceremony. Unfortunately, within minutes of commencement she got over excited, so mummy took her outside.

After pen had been put to paper, the happy couple made their exit to the gardens for photos.

Scenes from around the grounds.

After the wedding breakfast a 'few' beverages were consumed into the wee small hours. Surprisingly, this photo was taken before the drinking commenced.

A parting shot of Hintelsham Hall on Sunday morning.

Many thanks on behalf of the Craigs for the kind invitation and a great weekend and best wishes to Phil and Suzanne for a happy life together.

Fun In The Sun (Easter Day 2007)

It was a sunny Easter Day and one of the first opportunities of the year to get out in the garden.

A Trip to Houghton Hall (Sat 07.04.07)

It was Easter Saturday and time for the Craigs to visit Godson George and Isabel's godmother Fiona (+ Stu) at their new abode up north (even further up north!).

The Houghtons had relocated from Manchester to Preston, Lancashire. Their house, which overlooks nearby Moor Park, was originally a Victorian gothic villa that became a school before turning into two private houses.

The property's original occupant was the director of Preston's Moor Park, which was one of the first public parks created in the country.
