Working week beginning Oct 29th
Another three days of enjoying halloween decorated houses. Spiders galore. Perfect delivery weather, cooler but sunny.
On Saturday my eye was caught by the dew dappled autumn leaves on the grass in West Pottergate. Always a beautiful autumn moment.
Sunday 1st November
A cafe I drive post often whilst at work but never visited. Set in a quiet residential area in NR2.
Staff were hugely welcoming and friendly, despite cafe being full and busy.
Coffees were great. Other peoples breakfasts looked amazing, thinking we might return to try one of these soon.
Interior homely and modern. A lovely vibe.
Also excited to learn they do takeaway coffee too !
Fri/Sat/Sun 23/24/25 Oct
This week delivering in NR2, on walk 207, my eyes have been on customers Halloween decorations. Some fabulous moment, some caught, some just enjoyed in passing. The skeleton seated in the car actually made me shiver when the car drove past me on the street.
A good distraction from the first really rainy delivery weather for months. Had forgotten just how unwaterproof our impressive looking jackets are, off this morning to purchase my own waterproof coat for the winter ahead.
Oct 26th
A unplanned visit to the Blue Bear Coffee Co (Billy’s was not able to open because of technical issues), an independent coffee house down by Norwich Cathedral.
Fabulous coffee, made by the lovely Alice, who I know from The Mitre, a coffee shop I frequent whilst at work.
Coffee left a wonderful after taste which lingered.
Highly recommended.

A fabulous location near the centre of Norwich, perfect for people watching. We sat at a window seat and enjoyed watching people amble by in the sunshine.
A cool vibe and a smooth espresso which was very enjoyable.
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.
