Out on Delivery: Thu 22 Feb

Today: Sumptuous Camilla bush, Newmarket Rd: Rain rolling down awning, Plantsmans Close: A raindrop bejewelled leaf skeleton, Lime tree road.

A disappointingly wet delivery, a second day of finishing work soaked to the skin. Fingers crossed for drier weather tomorrow.

Out on Delivery: Wed 21 Feb

Today: Blossom, 51 Mount Pleasant: Tiny fungi growing at the bottom of a wall, Christchurch Rd: Line of blossom flowing down the road, Mount Pleasant.

A wet day, not fiercely raining, but raining. All is green and moist and blossom filled puddles and rivulets catch my eyes.

Out on Delivery: Mon 19 Feb

Today: Golden daffodils, works planning at the cedars.

A dampness of a day, mild and slightly drizzly, clearing later to give a little sun. Tired and not feeling like it today, luckily it is a lighter day.

Out on Delivery: Wed 14 Feb

Today: Crocuses: Japonica blossom, Mount Pleasant: Puddle reflection, Wessex Street: My heart has a particular soft spot for plants that thrive in difficult locations, here a splendid crocus at the edge of the pavement, Plantsman Road.

Finally, after all the last two week’s excitement all feels more settled and I have capacity to notice the world around me. We have been going through a resigning, a reallocation of who does which delivery. Sadly, I will no longer be doing Walk 206 with Kelly but will be the new postie for Walk 202 working with Craig.

Looking forward to getting to know new customers and their gardens and building a new set of relationships with the new places in walk 202 and my new partner Craig.

Out on Delivery: Tue 6 Feb

Today: Crocuses are out in Church Avenue: New growth, Lime tree road: Delivery Montage of today’s images

The day grew increasingly grey, with the threat of rain feeling ever closer. It held off though 🙂

Far too much excitement around the resigning this morning in our NR2 section. Will be happy once the process is over and all settles down.

Out on Delivery: Mon 5 Feb

Today: Splashes of early colour

A warm early spring day, some weak sun breaking through. An otherwise unspectacular day which might have been easier but for most of Walk 206 having not been delivered on Saturday.

Out on Delivery: Thur 1 Feb

Today: The lovely garden at 14 Allens Lane starting to come into bloom. Light through the glass doors in Arundel Court.

A shocker of a day in the office. A resigning is underway, all posties get to re choose where they deliver. Priority of choice is related to seniority.

Posties are obviously unsettled by the thought of loosing their walks but until this day there were no major surprises. This morning though, Matt (my working partners partner) lost his walk which has been his for the last 13 years.

The brutality of the process is laid bare.

Out on Delivery: Wed 31 Jan

A beautiful moment at 60a Mount Pleasant.

An unusual special delivery of a Jumping spider. Special treatment for the spider, travelling on the front seat the first item we delivered, relieved the customer was at home to receive the parcel.
