Not that I've been taking much photos recently with the horrible weather, we up here seem to be having all four seasons everyday for the past month or so.........so weird!

Anyways my camera is in the trusted hands of Roy & guess where he is off to for this next weekend............Grandad will guess right away.... I think, tomorrow first thing he leaves from here - Aberdeen - Heathrow - Canada for the Montreal F1 race.

Did he ask me ? No .............he is hoping to get some great pics for canvases when he's home to decorate his place & just maybe if they decide might have a day travel to see Niagara Falls..........here's hoping

Some consolation is that the BBC are carrying it all live, practice, qualifying and the race

What's up with the weather Kiya? Not bad for October, is it?

Did he ask me ? No

That means you can just borrow the car without permission then

Yes Grandad, thank goodness I'm seeing it on telly this time, fed up with only highlights especially when I hear on the radio who had won before I watch

October more like November

And oh yes Horus....where is my licence

Thanks Kiya for the reminder, my licence has expired and I would like to resume driving.

I agree with Horus - borrow my camera means that I can then 'borrow' something equally valuable belonging to you!

Although I do not drive...............I can go to his house to check things are ok & yes relax on his beautiful new 9 seater leather suite & watch the F1 on the massive screen on his wall

And...........oh yes I could check his booze cupboard too..........ah bliss

Well I might not actually 'take' his car but when Roy was in Quebec I'd let drop that "my drive down the coast in the car was fantastic and I'll need to my own licence" or some such and then I'd quickly end the call! Let him wonder for awhile if I actually WAS out driving about the countryside!

My story would be a good one cause I'd pre-think the details! Course the TV and drink cabinet sound pretty tempting too.

You could always leave left over curry and pizza takeaway cartons all over his coffee table.

Good idea Horus only there is no coffee table yet, I think that's top o' the list when he comes home fae Montreal

Glad to say Roy has now landed safely at Montreal

Does Roy - "Parlez-vous?"

Montreal is a really fascinating city but some people have reported it to be very 'cold' as us Anglophones can be shunned by the Francophones.

I wouldn't think so , maybe just............yes , no and beer

He travelled alone to meet up with one of friends who works for the same company as Roy but, based at St. Johns, not sure how close that is to the F1 race grounds.

Hey Grandad, I know you'd be watching the F1, Roy looks though he is in a good position stand right on the hairpin bend with the big screen in front also....lucky lad

Great position to watch the qualies Kiya. And also for some good shots approaching and side on as they reduce speed for the hairpin. Hope he has the camera set to continuous multi frame and you told him how to pan with the subject, and set a high shutter speed. You should have gone with him as artistic director.

It is 6pm for us today so I shall be watching. Go Lewis and Jenson

If only they can get Jenson's car running better for tomorrow

Superb position, should get some great shots from there

Yes looking forward to seeing his photos he wont be too happy his man Alonso not doing so well either.
