Out on Delivery: Tue 7 Nov

Today: pink blooms (Cornish Lily) currently to be seen throughout the walk, these ones in Trory road: Autumnal colours, Norfolk Street: Photo collage, Suffolk Square.

Another chilly but sunny day. I’ve wrapped up warm, since my head is thick with cold. Delivery passes quickly, plenty to deliver. Autumn colours are at their peak. Beautiful.

Out on Delivery: Mon 30 Oct

Today: A return to the walk after a week’s holiday. A backlog of mail due to staffing issues last week. Three of us tackle the build up, creating different working patterns.

A gentleness to the day, but no regrets at having return into long trousers. Leaves are starting to carpet the roads but still beautiful blooms to be seen through the walk.

Wearing in some new walking shoes. They made me feel very tall and sturdy but my leg muscles are this evening registering complaint.

Out on Delivery: Thu 12 Oct

Today: A drizzly damp day. Snails, slugs and raindrops abound. Another large quantity of parcels but with the longer delivery day we get it all delivered.

Excited to be taking photos with my new iphone.

Out on Delivery: Fri 6 Oct

Today: Delicate white blooms in the endlessly beautiful garden at 26 Ipswich Road: I love how some leaves change colour in patterns, been keeping an eye on this wild bush in Plantsman’s Close which always puts on a spectacularly colourful autumn display, and spotted these first leaves to turn: The beautiful dancing leaf shadows caught my eye here in Newmarket Road: Photo collage based on Suffolk Square.

A beautiful clean light day, oodles of packets and heavy bundles of mail, but a pleasure to be walking and working again with my colleague Wayne.

Out on Delivery: Wed 4 Oct

Today: Autumn largely declares itself under my feet as we crunch over a carpet of beech nut cases (actually quite sore) conkers, crab apples and acorns. A cooler day, with some soft clear sunlight emerging around lunchtime.

Despite a monstrously large quantity of packets, an emergency stop on the way out to the delivery, and the larger walking day the delivery feels easy and I am feeling better than I have in weeks.

Happy to be outside delivering.

Out on Delivery: Tue 3 Oct

Today: Hips, Walpole Street: Oak leaf, Newmarket Road: glass patterns, Arundel court: Photo collage based on Suffolk Square.

Busy for a Tuesday, volumes starting to build. A cooler fresher day, started thinking about trousers…

Lucky not to get wet, it looked deeply ominous at one point, but stayed dry.

Delighted to have Newmarket Road open again at junction of Christchurch and Lime Tree. Happy to be working alongside Wayne, a cheerful hard working colleague.

Out on Delivery: Sat 23 Sep

Today: A fresh but sunny day’s delivering, after having an extra person on the delivery with us yesterday we have a manageable amount of mail and have a smooth efficient morning’s delivering.

Collage is based on the courtyard outside Walpole Gardens
