Sun hat on – hottest day yet in 2025.
These rose campion catch my eye in Earlham road, the pink is so intense it pops. Serbian bellflowers thrive in NR2, they line many pathways and have clearly self seeded in many places, creating carpets of purple.
A blustery, lightly damp day delivering. After the recent, much needed, rain the flowers are lush and the green canopies abundantly full.
Poppy lined pavement edges, snagging roses bushes and stiff, plant choked, gates all along the delivery. Summer is here.
After a week of sun the blossom trees are starting to bloom and green budding growth is filling the trees.
Not quite as warm and sunny today, but still very pleasant to be out delivering parcels and mail.
Hoorah for the spring.
A bone chilly, gloriously sunny day. I spot my first opened crocus in a garden in Earlham Road. The sun makes the first tentative blossom glow.
Excited yesterday to see the first glimmers of light as I arrive at work. The sky is bruised purple and red and I can feel the possibility of spring arriving after a week of cold dark wintery weather.
One of my favourite autumnal colour changers, not sure what the name of the tree/bush is. This fine specimen is on Sandringham road.
Crunchy leaf piles in Mill Hill Road, having to take care as slippery leaf strewn steps are waiting to catch us out.
Today’s highlight was this beautiful hedgehog crossing the road in Sandringham Road.
A gloriously sunny day which felt summery despite the softer light.
Another sunny day, a lighter day so I have time to stop and photograph the texture on this door in Gladstone Street that I enjoy each day.
Some autumnal colours coming in Earlham Rd over a bin store. A spot with little light but this bush is ploughing on.
In Denbigh street a small tomato bush has self seeded itself by a gate. A handful of tomatoes hang and I am routing for them to ripen. I enjoy the determined plants that grow spontaneously in unpromising situations.
A warm day, with wonderful warm autumnal light. Noticing a general reduction in flowers, a few last Roses, but many now over.
Mail and parcels are light and we fly around the delivery.
Today: A surprisingly wet start to the delivery. Despite the endless hot weather here in Norwich the streets were teeming with fat moist brown slugs.
Caught a photo of the random leg that has been hanging out in a garden in Earlham Road.
Rain stopped at 10am but continued to get a soaking from all the overgrown bushes and hedges on the delivery.
Working with James and we managed to get all delivered. Felt good.
