Today: Noticing the beautiful leaf colours and enjoying our windscreen visitors.
Definitely feels like Christmas busyness is underway. Loads of chunky catalogues making the bags heavy. Needed two trolleys for the first time this year.
Today: Halloween delivery, I planned to photograph all the jack o lanterns but didn’t see as many as I expected. The first one I clocked has “Dylan’s pumpkin please don’t steal” written on in Biro.
Spiders web’s a plenty to give spooky vibes to the day…
Today: A return to the walk after a week’s holiday. A backlog of mail due to staffing issues last week. Three of us tackle the build up, creating different working patterns.
A gentleness to the day, but no regrets at having return into long trousers. Leaves are starting to carpet the roads but still beautiful blooms to be seen through the walk.
Wearing in some new walking shoes. They made me feel very tall and sturdy but my leg muscles are this evening registering complaint.
Today: Just so happy it wasn’t wet like yesterday ! Enjoyed the walk, all the streets were strewn with fallen leaves and all was still damp (including my van seat).
Enjoying the autumn colours.
Today: Storm Babet brought a day of endless rain. I cycled to work through rivers of water flowing down Mousehold heath.
It didn’t stop raining. Letters turned to mush, the van fogged up and despite two rain coats, waterproof trousers and waterproof socks, I was wet through by the end of the delivery.
At some point in the middle of the day, as we were delivering to Mount Pleasant it became particularly heavy rain and I discovered that my pockets had puddles in the bottom of them. Both pens and my keys were floating.
Luckily, days as wet as that are relatively rare.
Today: A shock of a cold day. Hands numb, jacket, gilet, vest stay on all delivery. Jumped from high summer to winter over the weekend. Diffuse sunlight behind these heart shaped leaves in Christchurch make this bush sing today. A ghost like bush, Ipswich Grove, caught my eye with its eerie glow.
The weekends strong wind and heavy rain has brought down many just turned leaves, my opportunity to capture their beauty closed for another year.
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: Delicate white blooms in the endlessly beautiful garden at 26 Ipswich Road: I love how some leaves change colour in patterns, been keeping an eye on this wild bush in Plantsman’s Close which always puts on a spectacularly colourful autumn display, and spotted these first leaves to turn: The beautiful dancing leaf shadows caught my eye here in Newmarket Road: Photo collage based on Suffolk Square.
A beautiful clean light day, oodles of packets and heavy bundles of mail, but a pleasure to be walking and working again with my colleague Wayne.
