Today: Heart shaped leaves and glowing autumnal colours.

Out on Delivery: Sat 18 Nov
Today: Yellow leaves, Phillipa Flowerday Plain: Creeper stalks, Church Avenue: Rainy view from van, Christchurch Road
Another forecast of heavy rain for the delivery created a subdued atmosphere in the delivery office. Heavy to start but, thankfully, by 10am had tailed off to light rain. Still damp throughout by the end of the delivery. Silver lining was the rain kept people at home and we largely got everything delivered:-)

Today: Favourite Newmarket Rd tree looking even more splendid: Another leaf visitor on our windscreen: Mushrooms growing in fencing panel, Plantsman Close. Photo collage, Wessex Street flats.
A beautiful start to the morning, autumnal coloured trees looking amazing in low autumn light. Towards the end of the delivery cloud had moved in and the chilliness of the day started to bite.
We manage to get all delivered, still feeling good to complete the walk.

Today: catkins spilling their line green pollen at 20 Christchurch Rd: Fungi, Ipswich Grove: Tree shadow, on the drive to the delivery.

A wet start to the first day of the new delivery, cleared during the morning and by the end of the delivery we even had sun.
A day of leaves, joyful to be able to actually complete the walk and a familiar rhythm to delivery.
Out on Delivery: Sat 11 Nov
Today: Autumnal tree, 98 Newmarket Road: Colourful foliage, Norfolk Terrace: silver birch trees on corner by 85 Suffolk Square: Photo collage, suffolk square.
A last time delivering to Suffolk Square and surrounding areas. Having worked really hard the last couple of days to be in a position to clear both walks we arrive to the news there is no extra person and more packets and mail than on any other day this week. With the shorter finish time we have no chance of getting anywhere close.
We deliver to all the areas we didn’t get to yesterday and then just do the 100+ packets. All the mail is out with us and we try not to worry about the work of getting it back into the frame on Monday.
A beautiful day, plenty of sun and a riot of autumnal colours.
Out on Delivery: Thu 9 Nov
Today: Sunlight through colourful leaves.
A beast of day day. Highlights were the weather, the company of my colleagues and a special delivery of Live Fish.
Will do it all again tomorrow…
Out on Delivery: Tue 7 Nov
Today: pink blooms (Cornish Lily) currently to be seen throughout the walk, these ones in Trory road: Autumnal colours, Norfolk Street: Photo collage, Suffolk Square.
Another chilly but sunny day. I’ve wrapped up warm, since my head is thick with cold. Delivery passes quickly, plenty to deliver. Autumn colours are at their peak. Beautiful.
