Today: Oak leaves, Ipswich Rd: Shadowy sunlight, Lime tree rd: Lethal Rose spines, End House: Autumn leaf: Windscreen leaf and self reflection.
The tsunami of strike postponed mail hit today. Redundancies have been announced. Tense atmosphere in the sorting office and a need to prioritise what we deliver to get done. Not a good feeling. At odds with the calm beauty of the day.
Today: windscreen visitor: Shadow selfie: Van and autumn colours, Newmarket Rd
A calm sunny day, perfect delivering day.
Today: A merry go round of leaves on the windscreen: sunlit flowers Ipswich Road: A favourite weed, strong and symmetrical, Lime Tree Road.
Many parcels but happily not too heavy on mail. A jovial mood in the van as we are going to visit a colleague and her new twins afterwork. A sunny day but many people still in pyjamas or asleep late into the morning. Roads quiet, a subdued feel to the day.
Today: Acorns, Ipswich Rd: Ivy, Mount Pleasant: Shadows, Phillipa Flowerday Plain: Spider, Benjamin gooch way.
Another sunny mild day. Streets covered in crunched acorns, fruits and sweet chestnuts. A lighter, happier day delivering. Even mildly amused by this giant spider which attached itself to me after I crashed through her web.
Today: Red leaf, Newmarket Rd: Fabulous fungus, Grove Avenue: Crunchy orange leaves, Brunswick Road: Spotty half eaten Holly leaf: Shadow and shadow reflection, Dial house.
Another full day delivering, heavy mail bags and a poorly work partner brought a heavy energy to a otherwise glorious autumnal day. Sunshine, shadows, crunchy leaves and ambient walking temperatures. Hoping tomorrow all will have calmed, frames are now cleared, following the strike disruption, but day not set to be so glorious…
Today: Piles of autumn leaves in Brunswick Road: Small fruits: Really red fruits, Lime tree road.
Another delivery day struggling to catch up after the weekend strikes. A mountain of parcels and a need to prioritise the delivery, plus have a couple of loops taken off us. Blustery but sunny day, leaves are collecting on the pavements and fruits, nuts and berries crunch under foot.
Today: Dappled light on van, Church Av East: Shadow on silver birch, Church Av: Oak leaves, Lime Tree Road
A day of dappled light. Lighter on parcels, so a more relaxing day. Tripped over a curb in Mount Pleasant, landing with a roll, so nothing injured excepting my pride. Always a possibility when you are walking hard to get all delivered in time.
Today: Foliage, Newmarket road: Foliage, Mount Pleasant: Foliage, Lime tree road.
Since rain returned so has green. Today my eye is caught by varieties of green, structural foliage and hints of red beginning. A cold morning, gloves needed. A typical Tuesday with increasing numbers of collections. Chatted to a customer in Harford Manor close who shared her story of kittens she has hand reared since they were three days old. Hats off to her.
Today: Shadow gateway to elsewhere, Allens Lane: Wet leaf and green radiator, Mount Pleasant: Puckered leaf, Lime tree road: Autumn leaf, Ipswich Road.
A wet morning delivering with some sunny spells in the middle. Easton’s Coach tour catalogues to deliver. Feeling more autumnal in the rain, softer light and longer shadows.
