Meals on Wheels

Apart from teaching on Tuesdays at the School of Art in Colchester delivering meals is my Sunday job.

Meal deliveries in Suffolk last Sunday.

Photos taken on the move
from
my car journey,
main courses and puddings,
places,
army territory,
pictures on walls in homes,
a key safe,
trolley and
the work depot and base.

I am intrigued to know what kind of images will decorate the corridors, staircases and common sitting rooms in my future residential home? A Hirst, Warhol, Emin, Doig or Koons?

Yes, that's what the meals look like from the outside.
It is hot.
Some clients want to eat it later and put the oven on for me to put it in. Others wait with a tray at the front door. For others we take the lids off and put it on a tray or plate it up. Some might need cutting the meat.

Most clients seem to prefer the puddings to the main course.
I think it's the custard which is a winner.
Some say they'd rather just have three puddings.

The gentleman who lives in this cottage is deaf.
He is waiting for the knock on the window in an armchair next to the window. You can hear him shuffling to the door.
He always says the nicest 'Thank you' once you put the food on his trolley in the sitting room.

His milk bottles.

Flowers in his front garden.

Suffolk skies inbetween meals.

This is a key safe containing the front door key to client's houses.

I pass several pig farms on my round.

I also pass military architecture in this part of coastal Suffolk.

Back at the depot you can see oven trays and defrosting ovens in the 'kitchen'.

These very hot and heavy plastic mats line polystyrene boxes in which the meals travel by car to the client.

Happy Easter!
