Today: A favourite bush, Newmarket Road: Wet leaf on Moss, Ipswich Road
Enjoying all the moss and lush greens today. After the bone dry summer the damp greenery feels comfortingly familiar. A warm, damp and overcast day – fairly perfect delivering weather.
Lots of City Council letters meaning visiting all addresses on some streets.
Today: Moss in brick paving cracks: Remaining leaves, Church Avenue: Leaf, Ipswich Grove.
Enjoyed an early morning electric van training. An hour spent driving through Norwich practicing using the engine to recharge the battery. Now can’t wait for the new vans to arrive (expected in March). Particularly excited by the automatic handbrake.
A perfect delivering day, not too hot, dry and nothing too busy/heavy/difficult. Lots of letters, particularly estate agents touting for business !
Today: Dissolving leaf: Mossy paving, Ipswich Rd, Oat leaf on grass sprouting gravel.
Over the weekend the seasons turned a corner. Autumn leaves are mulching away and a bleaker wintery feeling is emerging. An absence of recent strike action means the delivery was a normal lighter Monday. Talk in the office of a possible resolution nearing. Fingers crossed.
Today: foggy windscreen, first frost, emptying trees.
A chilly start to a sunny mornings delivery. A panic search for the one o’clock specials which resolved itself. A beautiful morning.
Today: Puddles…Roseacre, Newmarket Road and Church Avenue: Foggy Windscreen leaf.
Flooding and puddles defined the day. Excited by the news that we are getting Electric vans soon. Lots of mail and wet. Pleased to be finished.
Today: A non native spider, Mount Pleasant: Soggy leaves, Lime tree road: Flagstone patterns, Town Close School
The first of November and Autumn is soggier, browner, slushier and less magical. Windy and wet. New waterproof coats is less waterproof than last and I finish the walk wet through.
Today: Halloween pumpkins: Benjamin Gooch Way, Mount Pleasant and Ipswich Grove.
Clocked in and out of work for the first time today. Nothing too scary in today’s delivery or in the weather. A warm sunny gift of a morning.
Today: Fungi, Mount Pleasant: Pavement shadow, Lime tree road: Leaf, Grove Avenue.
Another warm, wet morning which turned sunny. Air smelt of autumn must. Large volumes of mail to sort and post, but not so busy on packets.
Today: Fabulous colours Benjamin Gooch Way: Foliage and shadow, 7 Paxton Place: Shade of green fig, Church Avenue East: Leaf, Ipswich Grove: Leaf, Grove Avenue.
A return from another strike day. Again it felt like a Monday. The most beautiful balmy morning that took a nasty, unexpectedly wet turn in the middle. Caught out without a rain coat. Apprehensive as to what tomorrow will bring…
