I don't mind where we picnic we will head on out and have a picnic in many places.
When i was young my mum used to throw a rug in the front or backyard and make us sandwiches for lunch and that would be a fantastic picnic.

Love the carols. We do it every year down the road in a natural ampitheatre across the road from the beach. Just magic. The kids slide down the bank on cardboard boxes (BYO cardboard) and the grown ups have a glass of bubbles and chat and sing and watch the stars come out.
Those chips look pretty tasty too. ;)

We haven't done Christmas Carols as yet but it is on my list.

We like to take our picnic blanket by the lake so the girls can run around, check out the ducks and swans and if they're lucky, near a playground.

we love picnicing at the beach and teasing all the seagulls with our yummy food!
we haven't been to Carols by Candlelight for many many years, the older ones are no longer interested and the younger ones are always in bed before it gets dark!

We love to picnic on the grass near the beach. Picnic-ing on the beach gets sand in everything and I hate sand in my food.

We don't do carols by candlelight because the mosquitoes eat me alive, even if I drench myself in anti-mozzie spray.

Our local carols are in a beautiful park by the sea. It gets a bit hectic with the market stalls & carny rides - once that finishes & the carols start around sunset, it is just magic.

We missed the carols this year because of the damned rain! It has been hideous. We did picnic on Sunday down at the local National Park. Just superb! I haven't tried those chips - will have to keep an eye out for them x

Last night we had a picnic in front of the wood burner, we cooked pizzas.
Your evening sounds lovely and I also love the sound of a brass band all my boys played a brass instrument for a while having said that my youngest still is. When they practiced those were different tears.

Hi Lucy
We like to take our picinic rug to New Farm Park - great playground equipment that keeps kids entertained for a couple of hours. Yep, that's right! Not 10 minutes - a couple of hours.
And no, we don't go to Carols by Candlelight though we do watch on TV
Cheers

We did Carols last night in Alice Springs of all places, not as sophisticated as your shindig but Christmassy all the same. Love Carols and the Big Brass Bands too.

Normally I'd say I love to picnic at the beach but now it would be anywhere we unhitch the caravan and when we get to Tassie I suspect it will be on top of our hill.

Loving your Aussie christmas posts by the way :-)

I am secretly glad you admitted to the brass band sob...Im a serial carols crier.
I'd take my picnic rug to the beautiful copacabana beach on the NSW central coast and make my kids listen for the umpteenth time about how my lovely husband proposed on the rocks one beautiful autumn day.
We're doing carols on norton st this sunday - much prefer that to the over the top one at the domain!

We picnic - ed at Carols last night, it was wonderful. But chilly towards the end.

Lately, after a big day of creche and work we have started having our regular fish and chips as a picnic on the lounge room floor. Followed by pop corn and BHG on TV. Not the life I once led, but a wonderful part of my week!

And, of course we all love chippies!!!
