Colours abound, now it is not just isolated spots of colour by whole gardens zing with yellow blooms of various sizes.
In Plantsman’s close I find some yellow pom pom blooms and I am caught by red unfurling foliage in Ipswich Road.
Driving home I notice some of the larger trees now have green leaves starting to transform the trees.
A warmer, drier day. A busy Wednesday, council tax letters galore. Noticing pinks.
A dull blankness of a morning, not cold, not warm, not wet, not sunny, not windy. Nothing zinged particularly, the work load light, allowing me to chat to customers. Disappointing many by sharing that I will be leaving the walk at the end of the month.
Enjoyed the magnificent scent of the white Clematis at 45 Mount Pleasant. Just heavenly.
Also loved this road sign in Ipswich Road.
A glory of a spring day, a Japanese Pieris with little translucent dots inside, a Bossiers glory-of-the-snow catching the sunlight in Newmarket Road and a the magnificent plum tree at 97 glowing in the sunlight.
Perfect conditions to cover the 20k needed to deliver all the mail today on walks 206 and 211. Finished on time 🙂
A temporary return to drizzle today. Shaun gallantly cycles out with my forgotten (partially)waterproof jacket.
More brown council envelopes land on our frames today lowering the mood. Mother’s day on the horizon so expecting a busy end of week.
Noticing all the new growth and the progress of the japonica at 51 Mount Pleasant.
Light as I head into work but caught unexpectedly by the need to defrost the car.
A gloriously sunny morning. All sings and the sun’s gathering strength caresses and warms.
Finally the rain stopped, a dryish but cold day, fingers are split and sore. Still overcast. Noticing flowers, mini Irises, this Wonkeresk bush at 10 Lime tree Rd and new growth leaves.
Yesterday’s deluge continued, colder and windier today. Towards the end of the delivery the clouds lifted and the sun broke through. Flowers and blossoms sprung open and I was noticing colour all around. My eye was drawn to newly unfurling bushes.
Feeling like we deserve a drier delivery day tomorrow but the forecast predicts more rain !
A deluge of mail and rain. We worked overtime to finish, delivering all soggy and damp.
I enjoyed the bubbling puddles and all the raindrop decorated foliage.
