A blustery autumnal day. I jump at the crack of falling conkers and lament the absence of excited small hands eager to pocket the treasure.
Noticing the changing colours and the fabulously berry saturated bushes. Autumn is always my favourite time of the year.
Following a cracking thunderstorm (the subject of much doorstep chatter today) the air is moist and warm. A really sticky, tropical feel to the delivery.
This ghostly rose campion catches my eye, as does this magnificent lavender bush which seems full of vigour after the nights soaking.
Happy when the delivery is finish, the heat is very tiring.
Sun hat on – hottest day yet in 2025.
These rose campion catch my eye in Earlham road, the pink is so intense it pops. Serbian bellflowers thrive in NR2, they line many pathways and have clearly self seeded in many places, creating carpets of purple.
A cooler start that morphed into a gloriously sunny day.
Enjoying all the fragrant roses around the delivery – particularly these beautiful red blooms in Earlham Road. A fabulous purple clematis catches my eye in Havelock Road. Lots of barley lining the edges of the streets alongside poppies.
A blustery, lightly damp day delivering. After the recent, much needed, rain the flowers are lush and the green canopies abundantly full.
Poppy lined pavement edges, snagging roses bushes and stiff, plant choked, gates all along the delivery. Summer is here.
A light filled day, noticing the reflections from cars and through car windows and the way the light highlights foliage and flowers.
Dandelions as halos filled this garden in Gladstone Street.
Hot.
Another blazing day. A lighter delivery load, so a opportunity to enjoy the spring/summer colours and patterned shadows.
Sun blazing as we whip through a Saturday delivery.
Sad to learn of the passing of a lady I deliver to in Gladstone Street. I was concerned she wasn’t well but hadn’t imagined she was that unwell. Grateful to the neighbour who informed me. A beautiful, same age as me, lady, who had a warm welcoming smile. Reminded of life’s brutalities.
Another cooler, overcast day. Occasional spitty spatters of almost rain. In the flatter light the colours of the blooms really stood out from the green. Particularly struck by this delicate two toned honeysuckle in Earlham Road and these muscular orangey poppies.
Working with a chilled colleague Ellie, so a relaxing day’s work.
