Walk 202, week 1

A new walk, a steep learning curve. Mostly focused on finding all the correct letterboxes, so no capacity for photo taking. Still this amazing pink blossom bush in Gladstone street caught my eye along with thus delicate white blossom.

Dead walking back through the picturesque Chester place I catch a selfie. Some fabulous views if the catholic cathedral from this street and others on the walk.

A return to Royal Arch Court which has a lift to catch a selfie in. These selfies were the starting basis for my delivery montages, lovely to be back delivering there.

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.

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 dry, warmer day. A little sun here and there. Blossom trees are really looking amazing.

Showered with blossom as we work in Mount Pleasant. Small white snow like petals flitter down. Such a quick and transient season spring.

Still delivery council tax letters, water bills and tax reminders.
