Christmas Lunch with the Thursday 'Girls'

We had a fun day in Brisbane at our annual Thursday girls break up lunch.  This year Frances hosted it and she did such a wonderful job.

















The table was set, the food was ready, the wine was chilled.  We swapped Christmas ornaments, had some nibblies, and then tucked into a lunch of superbly fresh salads and meats, followed by mini plum puddings with clotted cream.  Yum.. Diet next week:-)

 


Even Frances' dogs got in on the action.
 
Frances has a collection and love of flying pigs.  Flying pigs everything -  even her tea towels had flying pigs on them.  Where does she get this stuff??  This big flying pig hangs at the window of her sewing studio.  This photo is taken from inside her studio, and this is what she sees as she sews.  I would have never realized how many things came with flying pigs on them!!

 Frances also has an amazing collection of Nativity scenes and she had them displayed beautifully.  Got to love the Aussie ones.  The ornament she received this year was the larger kangaroo shown in the kangaroo scene.  Someone knew something!
