These magnificent tulips were up on the high terrace I deliver to in Mill Hill Road – about 30 steps up but 5 calls all together.
A lighter Saturday, filled with some get done quick energy since heading out for a reunion later in the day.
A damp day delivering, starting to recognise customers and not falling over as many stairs.
Today: Drizzling, damp morning. Wintery type temperature. All is lush and green though. Flowers glisten with silvery drops.
Chester place has a garden running along the while line of house filled with beautiful plants. This Griffith’s spurge caught my eye alongside this magnificent day like bush in Earlham road.
Working with a new colleague Tony, always a joy to hear about others lives chatting in the van.
Today: chilly start, ice on the windscreen. The sun was out sporadically and it felt warm enough out on delivery. These beautiful wallflowers were in Chester Place and the tiled pathway in Gladstone Street.
We managed to get all delivered for a second day which felt good.
Just me on the delivery today, so walking the loops with just the packets in the bags. April showers in their full glory, beautifully sunny one moment, full typhoon next. Drenched early on, a couple of packets became so wet their contents fell out. Learning my lesson I sat out the second shower and was dry by the end of the delivery.
Happy to discover this Santa Barbara ceanothus on this delivery, one of my favourite bushes. Particularly splendid in the spring.
Today: Bluebells are out !! : I loved the snail knocker on this front door: Delivery Montage of tiled pathway photos and bluebells.
A warmer and dry delivery day. Been quite a week getting to know this new delivery. Working with a new colleague. Starting to understand how the numbering works on each road but still addresses I haven’t yet delivered too.
Caught out by a delivery to St Thomas’s Church. Walked around the building twice but unable to find any letterboxes. Gave up and asked the Postie who used to be on the delivery. Apparently the church is now behind the cafe, The Mitre and the mail is delivered there. One you have to learn.
Arrive at work to the new office layout, all has changed and the energy is jittery.
I have braved my shorts but the day starts chill, a cool edge all morning. Out and about the colours are singing.
Another chilli start to a warm spring day. Sun breaking through creating great foliage shadows. New growth becoming established and all is filling with colour.
A second morning adjusting to new delivery office layout. Break the news to more of my customers that I am changing walks. A sad feeling hung over my day.
A damp busy Wednesday. The morning began with heavy rain but it lifted into occasional drizzle.
Enjoyed this two tone heather in Plantsman’s Close and the scent of this Japanese Skimmia in Lime tree road was delightful. A bright shock of orange blooms on this Darwins Barberry caught my eye.
