Today: A wet start to the day, we sort the day’s delivery listening to rain drum on the roof. Happily it has eased by the time we get out on delivery. All is wet and soggy, all the beautiful bushes and flowers wilted in the frosty nights. I notice the wintry colours, yellows, lime greens and wet black and enjoy all the suspended drops.
A lull of a day, excepting special deliveries. The delivery office feels open and spacious, all braced for Wednesday.
Today: Strikingly blue berries on this David Viburnum in Benjamin Gooch Way: Dew dropped grasses, Newmarket Road: Bejewelled leaf, Newmarket Rd: Beautiful miniature leaf cluster, Newmarket Rd.
Been so busy, cold, wet and preoccupied, that I have not had much opportunity to take photos this last week. Today the sun is out and the temperature a little higher, and I have some space to notice and photograph.
We are busy, Christmas cards starting to come through. Lament all the small letterboxes that the older properties have, many of which are too small for a card. To fold or to leave outside the door is the question ?
Today: Autumnal tree, 98 Newmarket Road: Colourful foliage, Norfolk Terrace: silver birch trees on corner by 85 Suffolk Square: Photo collage, suffolk square.
A last time delivering to Suffolk Square and surrounding areas. Having worked really hard the last couple of days to be in a position to clear both walks we arrive to the news there is no extra person and more packets and mail than on any other day this week. With the shorter finish time we have no chance of getting anywhere close.
We deliver to all the areas we didn’t get to yesterday and then just do the 100+ packets. All the mail is out with us and we try not to worry about the work of getting it back into the frame on Monday.
A beautiful day, plenty of sun and a riot of autumnal colours.
Today: Beaded curtain and shadow, Walpole gardens: Gold flecked leaves, Ipswich Rd: Crying lady, Albert terrace.
Calmer, cooler and more settled weather has come in. I needed gloves for the cycle and a hat through the delivery. Trees are translucently glowing yellow and all looks beautiful. Very much needed as we try to catch up on the backlog of letters that have built up. Heavy bags with, in some cases, four days worth of mail. All made more challenging by the heavy cold I have caught off the colleague I worked with last week !!
A gentle day, perfect for delivering mail. People in chatty friendly moods. Both things helped smooth through a large Wednesday delivery. All looking more autumnal.
I enjoy spotting the work of local graffiti artist, knapple around the delivery. She paints pineapples around the city and people commission her to decorate their bins and walls. Delighted yesterday to find this whole wall panel in Suffolk Square.
Today: Sunlight through autumnal creeper, Trory street: Halloween decorations appearing throughout the walk, spooky web, Phillipa Flowerday Way.
A fresh but sunny day, perfect walking temperature. Autumnal colours abound and I am enjoying all the halloween decorations and spooky themed doorbell rings. Fun.
Today: A unseasonably warm and sunny day, noticing autumn colours and berries.
Manage to delivery we took out all in time.
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.
Today: A glorious year for berries. October is not disappointing this year, warm, sunny and the trees are still leaf filled, just touches of colour change and berries and fruits abound.
