Today: Drizzling, damp morning. Wintery type temperature. All is lush and green though. Flowers glisten with silvery drops.
Chester place has a garden running along the while line of house filled with beautiful plants. This Griffith’s spurge caught my eye alongside this magnificent day like bush in Earlham road.
Working with a new colleague Tony, always a joy to hear about others lives chatting in the van.
Out on Delivery: Mon 22 Apr
Today: chilly start, ice on the windscreen. The sun was out sporadically and it felt warm enough out on delivery. These beautiful wallflowers were in Chester Place and the tiled pathway in Gladstone Street.
We managed to get all delivered for a second day which felt good.

A rather wet delivery, made more cheerful by having three of us delivering. We managed to almost get the whole walk completed, felt good to be catching up after all the chaos of the last couple of weeks.
In between the rain the sun would emerge strong and clear, and all glistened.
Out on Delivery: Fri 19 Apr
Today: A wet and frankly quite chilly start to the delivery. Spring still sung brightly, these tulips in a garden in Chester place were only one of the beautiful varieties the garden had in bloom. All the greenery glistened in the moist weather. Paves and pavements are filled with uninvited blooms and growth.
Time at the end of the delivery to get some chips from the chippie in Stafford street. The sun had emerged and so we finished the morning feeling full and warm.

Just me on the delivery today, so walking the loops with just the packets in the bags. April showers in their full glory, beautifully sunny one moment, full typhoon next. Drenched early on, a couple of packets became so wet their contents fell out. Learning my lesson I sat out the second shower and was dry by the end of the delivery.
Happy to discover this Santa Barbara ceanothus on this delivery, one of my favourite bushes. Particularly splendid in the spring.

Today: Bluebells are out !! : I loved the snail knocker on this front door: Delivery Montage of tiled pathway photos and bluebells.
A warmer and dry delivery day. Been quite a week getting to know this new delivery. Working with a new colleague. Starting to understand how the numbering works on each road but still addresses I haven’t yet delivered too.
Caught out by a delivery to St Thomas’s Church. Walked around the building twice but unable to find any letterboxes. Gave up and asked the Postie who used to be on the delivery. Apparently the church is now behind the cafe, The Mitre and the mail is delivered there. One you have to learn.
Out on Delivery: Tue 9 Apr
Today: Graffiti in West Pottergate: new growth, Chester place: orange door, Mill Hill Road.
Starting to get a grip on the new delivery, trying hard to catch up after yesterday. A drizzle of a day.
Out on Delivery: Tue 2 Apr – Sat 6 Apr
Walk 202, week 1
A new walk, a steep learning curve. Mostly focused on finding all the correct letterboxes, so no capacity for photo taking. Still this amazing pink blossom bush in Gladstone street caught my eye along with thus delicate white blossom.
Dead walking back through the picturesque Chester place I catch a selfie. Some fabulous views if the catholic cathedral from this street and others on the walk.
A return to Royal Arch Court which has a lift to catch a selfie in. These selfies were the starting basis for my delivery montages, lovely to be back delivering there.
