A post bank holiday return, less mail and more delivery time. Work with a colleague James who knows the walk and we manage to get all delivered, feels good.
A week of sunshine promised, today doesn’t disappoint.

Out on Delivery Fri 23 Aug
A surreal day delivering. Tumble weed amassed at a call in Earlham Rd. A brazen banana basking on the pavement in Stafford Street. A beautiful once-was trail in Earlham Rd.
The weather, wet, chilly and windy to start but hot, clear skied and still by the close of play.
Out on Delivery: Wed 21 Aug
A pink Wednesday, a softer summers day, a pleasure to be out delivering. Enjoying working with my new colleague Peaches and I enjoy the day despite the heavy work load.
Self reflection taken in Earlham road and this most exquisite rose was found in the most unpromising location.
Out on Delivery: Mon/Tue 20/21 Aug
A return to work after a two week holiday. All the overexcitable foliage, nettles and brambles have been sun shrivelled and the grass yellow and burnt making the going much faster.
Still numerous summery blooms to be seen and smelt. A wild and summery garden filled with creamed pincushion caught the feeling of the day.
Hot still but a noticeably gentler sun.

Another muggy hot sweaty day delivering. Three in the van, we got it all delivered in a slick of sweat.
Air totally still, possibly the most uncomfortable day delivering of the year.
Blooms glowing and shadows abound.
Out on Delivery: Wed 31 July
Another hot day, forecast cooler but unrelentingly sunny.
Sunlight is hard edged. As we finish my sun addled mind starts feeling confused, restored quickly by a corner shop ice chilled lemonade.
Out on Delivery: Tue 30 July
Hottest day of the year so far, the sun is strong and temperatures high at the outset of the delivery.
Working in a team of three, training up Peaches on the walk who will be standing in a semi permanent working partner.
Trying to clear a backlog of mail that had accumulated so bags are heavy.
A squish in the van and have a great moment where we all pilled out of the van to deliver parcels in Earlham road and a passer exclaimed in suprise “wow,how many more of you in that van”
Out on Delivery: Tue/Wed 24/25 Jul
Summery hot weather, working with new colleagues.
I hope I have remembered to remind them of all the tricky addresses as I send them off on their unseen loops. Always forgetting a few.
Gardens are looking full and splendid around the whole delivery. A few addresses are increasingly hard to access with overgrown bushes and pathways. Thorns, brambles and stinging nettles lurk in the foliage.

Hot hot hot. Sunny. Hot. Needed to buy cold drinks from a deliciously air conditioned local store mid way through.
Loved these two ripe red strawberries sat on a humble windowsill in Mill Hill Road.
