Warlukurlangu gift

Our great friend, J, gave us a wonderful gift for Christmas - a set of four melamine plates with a design by Warlukurlangu Artists. They match perfectly our placemats we use when eating outside in our courtyard. This evening we are going to share a bottle of champagne and nibblies with two neighbours and we are going to use our lovely plates for the first time. Thank you J.
