Today: Road markings, Newmarket road: Spider, 30 Kenneth Mckee Plain: Berrys, Newmarket road surgery: Autumnal foliage, Plantsman Close: Walking panonrama, Lime Tree road.
The missing bank holiday mail and parcels caught up with us today. A full van and heavy bags. Fortunately a perfect delivery day, gently sunny and not too hot. Delivering in Ipswich road we noticed an injured motorcyclist (possibly College student) have to wait almost am hour for an ambulance. Sobering.
Today: Verticals in Allen’s lane: A visit to the rear of the doctor’s surgery to deliver a parcel and the reward of this fresh vista back to Newmarket Road.
A quiet day back after the bank holiday. Traffic is horrendous and there seems to be a scene unfolding at City College with an ambulance being called and many members of staff edgily waiting.
Today: Insect nibbled foliage, Benjamin Gooch Way: Temporary road markings, Newmarket Road: Cheerful flowers, Ipswich Road.
Cooler, dry and not too busy. A perfect delivery day. Light was flat but in these conditions the colour of flowers stands out. Feeling strong and capable.
Today: Early light on temporary fencing in Grove Avenue: Light and shadow on Van, Newmarket Road.
Happy to have Kelly back on delivery. Out early and the light is soft and dappled. Enjoyed the long shadows and feeling cold. Heavy overnight rain has cleared out the spiders webs and the pavements of autumnal debris.
Today: Intensely maroon plant, Allen’s Lane: Conkers, Mount Pleasant
Working with Tony. Always a pleasure to meet, chat and work with new colleagues. Not too much mail, but a wet showery day. Some heavier downpours which brought seeds, twigs and leaves down. Cold and damp on finishing the walk.
Today: Dainty camouflaged mushrooms catch my eye at 24 Newmarket Road: Spider is defiantly back across the pathway at 30 Kenneth Mckee Plain
A easier Thursday delivery, out in good time. Weather cooler and more Autumnal. Two giant parcels for the same address which made the van look busy. A happy morning’s work.
Today: Bloom, Allen’s lane: Lurking spider, Kenneth Mckee Plain: Leaf, Ipswich Rd: Favourite graffitied lamppost caught in the sun, Christchurch Rd.
Finally a lighter and cooler day’s delivering. A day begun by the now regular spider obstacle course at 30 Kenneth Mckee Plain. I ducked under the web this morning, photographing the resident spider as I passed. Autumn feels on it’s way.
A dramatic moment watching a MontJack Deer being hit by a car in Christchurch Road. The deer seemed to roll and bounce and I thought it would be seriously injured but it jumped back up and ran off into the bushes. Another witness walked past, hand in front of her mouth in horror.
Today: Autumnal leaf: Delicate liquorice allsort like blooms: Fresh graffiti on Ipswich road lamp post.
Another sweaty day delivering. Double mail on the 211 loops so pretty much every call. Feels autumnal despite the summer type temperatures.
Today: An exquisite bloom, Ipswich Road: Reflection selfie in light well, Grove Avenue
Out of respect for the Queen the CWU cancelled our strike day late yesterday. So today was an unexpected day at work.
A memorable day, customers very chatty, often surprised to see us and sharing how sad they were that the Queen has died. A customer in Launceston terrace was dead heading his roses to cheer himself up.
