Today: A hot sweaty sunny August day laced with hints of autumn approaching. Blackberries, fallen conkers, dried leaves and softer shadows. Enjoying crunching beech nut cases underfoot and a first fallen leaf swish in Church Avenue.
Still a number of big beautiful blooms across the walk and the need for a sunhat.
Today: A hot and Sunny Monday delivery. Shocked and saddened to hear from residents about a fatal accident on Newmarket Road on Sunday. Residents felt the road works had contributed to the accident and had the harrowing experience of trying to comfort the trapped cyclist as they died.
Today: Sharp shadowy morning, fresh but warm. Enjoying working with a new colleague and re seeing the walk through having to describe all the idiosyncrasies. Tried towards the end of the walk having given blood the evening before.
Today: Light ripples, Arundel Court: Mrs Willmott’s ghost, Church Avenue: Van light casing shadow, Union street: Delivery montage.
A most exquisitely perfect English summers day, sunny and light filled with a fresh breeze to counter the sun’s rays. All smells fresh and recent rain means verdant lawn and sumptuous blooms abound. A joy to be out and about.
The week starts with some more settled weather, fresher with sunny spells. Wasps and spiders are now abundant, we had a couple of intruders into the van which were swiftly dealt with.
Today: Exquisite purple giant thistles in the ever beautiful gardens outside flat 3-11 Walpole gardens: beautiful yellow blooms squashed against a wall in Melbourne Cottages: Wishes galore in Plantsmans close. Photo montage.
Today: A wet morning delivering, all was green and glistening. A few overly soggy letters delivered and one naughty parcel slipped from my hands and landed itself squarely in a puddle. Much apologising to the customer.
A morning sorting listening to rain drum on the roof. Miraculous it stopped as we arrive on delivery and the sun spent as much time out as behind the clouds.
The rain had left beautiful puddles on Suffolk Square walkways, which I have used in today collage.
Another overcast ominously dark day, which only delivered a few spit spots if actual rain. The quietest day of the year, volume wise, and we managed to complete the whole larger walk !
An exquisite orange rose caught my eye in Kimberly. Lower light levels allow the flower colours to shine.
Today: An ominously overcast start but we made it through dry. A lighter day and we were only one road short of completing the whole of the new larger delivery. I walked 17km despite only having every other call. Plenty of berries starting to turn red and leaves starting to colour.
