Today: Colours of tinsel and autumn leaves match in Church Avenue East: Red stems, Ipswich Road: Fence mushrooms, Plantsmans Close: This weird small fence/ wall end moment caught me in Harford Manor Close.

Not the influx of mail we were expecting, the two days strike seems to have really put a spanner in the works. An eerily quiet day on the streets. Damp and cold again. More strikes for the next two days.
