I'll let the pictures tell the story, in chronological order:
Our New Year's Eve photo
There's nowhere better than a graveyard for your first walk of the new year... This is Newark's London Road Cemetery, which is historically significant as well as beautiful
It's really too early for these... We had an absurdly mild New Year, with daytime temperatures up around 15 degrees...
Sunrise wind turbines near the start of the railway track that is one of our staple walks
Further down the line
Canada geese have become the emblem of the journey this year... There are just so many of them... I thought they were migrants, but no, they were introduced in the 17th century, and the populations, which you can find pretty much all over England, are resident
And, continuing on the bird front, here are some pelicans adorning Newark Castle. No, not pelicans really. Cormorants (we think)
One of the country's currently comparatively rare train services...
Ice! From the 15 degrees of New Year, we've gone back to more seasonal temperatures in recent days. There was even a flurry of snow over our garden in Newark today
