What a beauty

I completely forgot to go to the Post Office yesterday, I was distracted. It's not every day that a beautiful beast like this is parked outside your house. Oh wow, I had to go out and speak to the driver. I needed to get the lowdown. Where is the vehicle based, what is the load, where has the driver been, where is he going to next. 

The delivery point is down another street but it is difficult to get to. Too many parked cars and nowhere to turn round. Calum did well to reverse into my street, unhook the forklift truck from the back end of the trailer, lift off long lengths of timber, and take it to the site. He came back and re attached the forklift truck back onto the trailer. Here he is tightening up the straps on his load. 

Here is a snippet of information from the company web site. 

Over the past 50 years we have grown to become a national road transport business with a vast team of talented employees and an extensive fleet of modern vehicles. Our head office is in Aberdeen, but we have depots in Dalgety Bay, Grangemouth and Poole. Today our fleet is regularly involved in trips to Ireland and continental Europe. We operate a daily trunk route linking the North of Scotland to the South of England

It was great chatting to Calum. He loves his job and after leaving North Lincolnshire he went on his way down to Suffolk, then Brighton, then London. He expects to be away from his home in Aberdeen for up to two weeks. His workload reminded me of  the weeks away from home that I had, tramping all over the UK. That's what I loved about it. The freedom of the road. 

I delivered three artworks to the 20 21 Arts centre this afternoon. I had a change of mind at the last minute. I have entered the button heart and the chemtrails in the sky, and added a mystery one which is pictured somewhere on this blog. I will be going to the opening of the exhibition so there will be some photo's to post of that. Of course there is no guarantee that any of mine will be accepted. It all depends on what the judges are looking for. I hope I am lucky. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
