Today: The water leak in Allens Lane: Doors at Arundel Court: A moment in Harford Manor Road: Sunshine and shadow on the van, Mount Pleasant.
A drizzly start to an easier day. The rain eased and became sunny intervals. Good moods due to the easier work load.
Today: Poppy heads and shadows, Kenneth Mckee Plain: Gate and shadow, Launceston Terrace: Stairwell, Fountains Court: Graffiti, Christchurch Road.
Strong sunlight and blue skies as we start our walk, noticing geometric shadows. A fresh breeze kept the walking pleasant. So little post, we whipped around the walk in a quick time, surprising customers with our early arrival.
Today: Lavender bush in Kenneth Mckee Plain: Yellow flowers glowing in the bright morning light, Paxton Place: Ivy slowly creeping over a door in Church Avenue: Staircase, Sandringham Court.
A fairly busy Saturday, a fresh wind to start with bright clear light. Becoming warmer and more overcast as the morning progressed. Quiet streets and a surprise opening of the previously shut Ipswich Road. Perhaps both due to the Lord Mayor’s Parade happening later today.
Today : patterned pavement: I belatedly notice this cross is marking out leaking water: A moment of pleasing overlaping forms at 98 Newmarket Road.
Another bigger day delivering, mostly cool, but occasional hot. Got a soaking on the cycle home.
Today: A freshly creosote smelling gate and fence at No 8 Church Avenue: Dryer outlet pipes reflecting grit box yellow: spidery pavement shadows: Sweet peas picked at invitation at 105a Newmarket Road scenting the van.
Sticky and hot delivering. Customers out in gardens and chatty, a pleasurable morning despite heat.
Today: A beautiful miniature cactus flower in a brick, Plantsman’s close: A luminous Dandelion: Window pattern, delivery office as I head home.
The summer solstice, the sun shone full on as if in celebration. Posties arriving back after delivery all exclaimed “hotter than I was expecting”. A double tray Tuesday with endless Go outdoor and loaf sofa catalogues to deliver. A much needed stop at a corner shop for refreshing cold cans of drink. Happy to be finished.
Today: Best place to advertise a meeting, toilet door: First time delivering a Care Home professional magazine: Delivery office loading dock shadow.
A lighter Monday delivery, sunny and warm. Noticing all the greenery growth.
Today: A blue x appeared overnight in Allens walk: Great light through doors at The Cedars: A wavy shadow pathway back to Mount Pleasant: Yesterday I enjoyed the dandelions and rye grass blowing in the wind in these verges, today they are mown and lifeless: A playful moment as I ascend the stairs in Sandringham Court and the green garages become visible.
The first properly hot days’s delivering, sunhat sweatily on. Hoorah for all the tree shade on this walk. Mail volumes down, so finished comfortably in time. Working partner off on her holidays from tomorrow so good mood in the van.
Today: Always inspired by the plants that manage to thrive in the cracks and edges, Allen’s Lane: A tight turn in The plantation alway brings me up close to this hedge: Fun geometry and shadows at this beautiful doorstep in Christchurch Road: Lush flower in church avenue: Road works in Ipswich road mean an excitement of pavement markings have appeared.
A lighter and Sunny day delivering. A fresh breeze keeping the walking bearable. A switching of delivering order to minimise road work disruption and traffic queues.
