Before we head south to find some warm weather we are off to Carlowrie Castle for a weekend Yoga retreat with our regular yoga teacher - Sharon Iacono - and her husband - Bongo - who is a chef and will be managing all the catering for the weekend.
About 6 hours of yoga over the two days, the opportunity for a massage or two, a stunning venue and Bongo's food - should be just what we need before we head to the airport on Monday.
Just for a change, we are heading to South Africa this year and instead of our usual routine, we have decided to rent a house in Pearl Valley in the Winelands to give us a base. I am sure there will be some travelling around while we are there but we will be surrounded by Wineries so may not get that far!
Since the snow in Edinburgh lasted until March last year, we will be staying in SA until the beginning of April this year - home just in time for Easter. There are bound to be some interesting people and adventures so will see if I can keep the Blog going while we are away.
I'm signed up for a big bike ride in March - more on that later if I actually make it to the start and, at Ally's suggestion, have already registered for a 38km ride next Sunday - that should let me know what chance I have of being ready for the main event.
Feeling quite organised at the moment - I'm sure there will be something which I'll remember at the last minute but so far so good.
