Out on Delivery: Wed 13 Oct

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.

Out on Delivery: Thur 6 Oct

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…

Out on Delivery: Wed 5 Oct

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.

Out on Delivery: Thu 29 Sep

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.

Out on Delivery: Mon 26 Sep

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.

Out on Delivery: Fri 23 Sep

Today: Caught a spider hiding from the rain: Wet foliage: Parcel

A showery Friday. Glistening spiders web, dripping foliage and bruised skies. An occasional dash of sun but plenty of drizzle. A busy day which passed quickly.

Moment of joy noticing that Ipswich road is now open again, will save us 10 mins of driving !

Out on Delivery: Thur 22 Sept

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.

Out on Delivery: Wed 21 Sep

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.

Out on Delivery: Thur 15 Sept

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.
