Due to sunday afternoon circumstances I've lost touch with it but enjoyed the moment when I was in Monaco 2009 ... errr the week before !! I often wondered about what the F1 WAGS thing was all about, maybe she was hoping for a magazine deal and it didn't come !J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-66744191435312808862011-11-02T14:11:19.342+00:002011-11-02T14:11:19.342+00:00Graham, probably more lichen than fungi......I kno...Graham, probably more lichen than fungi......I know few of either but am trying to identify them.<br />Captain Sensible now...Eh!<br />I must admit I like processional.

'Sensible' is no longer my middle name. <br /><br />Going round with CJ I've come to appreciate and enjoy lichens and these are crackers.<br /><br />I though the GP was dire. Back to the processional days with a few moments thrown in to make me (well, not just me) look at the screen. Mark says we should all see a GP. Does going to the British Grand Prix at Aintree in 1955, when Stirling Moss won, count? By the way did you know that Aintree is the only purpose built GP circuit in Britain and that it still exists in its entirety today?Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-59038366405385905472011-11-02T04:40:11.407+00:002011-11-02T04:40:11.407+00:00Trevor, thanks for the link......that's where ...Trevor, thanks for the link......that's where I went.<br /><br />John, I'll follow your example.<br /><br />Mark, they are an incredible spectacle.

Our clocks don't change until November 6. I'm sorry I haven't been commenting recently, although I have been reading and enjoying your posts. I lichen your lichens :) It's amazing to see detailed macro shots and catch a glimpse into such a fascinating ecosystem ....they don't have to worry about the time.
