Today: A freshly creosote smelling gate and fence at No 8 Church Avenue: Dryer outlet pipes reflecting grit box yellow: spidery pavement shadows: Sweet peas picked at invitation at 105a Newmarket Road scenting the van.
Sticky and hot delivering. Customers out in gardens and chatty, a pleasurable morning despite heat.
Today: A beautiful miniature cactus flower in a brick, Plantsman’s close: A luminous Dandelion: Window pattern, delivery office as I head home.
The summer solstice, the sun shone full on as if in celebration. Posties arriving back after delivery all exclaimed “hotter than I was expecting”. A double tray Tuesday with endless Go outdoor and loaf sofa catalogues to deliver. A much needed stop at a corner shop for refreshing cold cans of drink. Happy to be finished.
Today: This favourite moment popped again with the citric green and orange poppies: Fallen baby conkers: Accidental walking photo: Flower.
Hot, hot, hot. A very sweaty day delivering, plenty of drinks needed and the sunhat. New summer lapsing (extra delivering) on Grove Avenue which had plenty of parcels to deliver and a couple of tricky addresses to find. Fun spotting all the fathers day cards. Happy to have a weekend off.
Today: Always inspired by the plants that manage to thrive in the cracks and edges, Allen’s Lane: A tight turn in The plantation alway brings me up close to this hedge: Fun geometry and shadows at this beautiful doorstep in Christchurch Road: Lush flower in church avenue: Road works in Ipswich road mean an excitement of pavement markings have appeared.
A lighter and Sunny day delivering. A fresh breeze keeping the walking bearable. A switching of delivering order to minimise road work disruption and traffic queues.
Today: Poppies in Cambridge Street: Bus stop as I emerge from 97 Newmarket Road: Flowers The Cedars: My favourite set of flowers, they make me smile each time I arrive at this address in Lime tree road.
Finally a lighter days delivery, kept fresh by running the walk backwards and enhanced by the beautiful sunny weather.
Today: Shadows of “Yorks” (Royal Mail cages/trolleys used to transport mail/packets/parcels) in the delivery office carpark: Just one of many daily photos of tracked items being delivered that I take: The remains of the magnificent Cedar tree that “The cedars” is named from, sadly severely damaged in the big storm in Feb.
An eerily quiet day out and about on delivery. Some thundery rain that we hoped to avoid caught us out. A good feeling finishing up with the two bank holiday days coming up. Sang our way back to the delivery office.
A busy Wednesday delivery: a hot sunny day. Shadows catching my eye today as I walk.
Shadow of clip on my parcel delivery notebook; door shadow at the flats on benjamin gooch way; foliage shadow, christchurch road; geometric handrail shadows, plantsmans close.
An everyday summer’s morning, warm and slightly overcast with the sun breaking through periodically. Quiet and purposeful. I choose to follow the route of yesterdays run to photograph flowers in this NR1 area. Rewarded with an abundance of colourful images and the lingering smell of roses in my nostrils.
