Hollyhocks tower over me in Gladstone Street today, another dry but overcast day in which we manage to get all delivered.
Out on Delivery: Tue 9 July
Walk
Out on Delivery: Tue 28 May
A return to work after holiday, due to staff sickness the mail on my walk has not been delivered for a few days. Bags are very heavy and we have to use trolleys on most loops.
Gardens have changed in the week away, all glistening in the summer rain.
Out on Delivery: Wed 15 May
A wet, warm morning delivering. Snails are out climbing door and filling pathways. Warm enough to enjoy the brush of wet foliage as I go up pathways.
A larger Wednesday, but we get finished despite the rain.
Out on Delivery: Tue 14 May
A mostly sunny morning delivering. Splendid pansies in Chester Place and purple onion flowers, Mill Hill Road. Enjoyed the yellow lichen on this blue gate in Stafford Street.
Out on Delivery: Tue 7 May
The sun is out, the forecast good for the whole week. We have a longer day, due to the bank holiday and manage to complete the whole, walk.
An eye for all the beautiful pinks about, in Chester Place, Denbigh Road and Mill Hill Road.
The beginnings of road closures around the walk adding excitement.
Out on Delivery: Tue 30 Apr Wed 1 May
The sun emerged and the shadows came out to play.
A good, if busy couple of days delivering. Slightly embarrassed by accidentally catching my delivery bag on a customers wall in a tight pathway resulting in a section of wall falling over.
Apologised to the customer but they were, perhaps rightly, cross about the hassle of having to talk to Royal Mail through a central customer services number. Caught the flack for the aggravation of modern life.
Out on Delivery: Fri 3 May
A damp day delivering, starting to recognise customers and not falling over as many stairs.
Out on Delivery: Fri 26 Apr
Today: A dry(ish) slightly sunny but still cold morning. We worked hard and all delivered. Starting to feel like I know the delivery better.
Out on Delivery: Tue 23 Apr
Today: Drizzling, damp morning. Wintery type temperature. All is lush and green though. Flowers glisten with silvery drops.
Chester place has a garden running along the while line of house filled with beautiful plants. This Griffith’s spurge caught my eye alongside this magnificent day like bush in Earlham road.
Working with a new colleague Tony, always a joy to hear about others lives chatting in the van.
