3. Call at Twerton Chippie on the way to see Bath City take on Grimsby at 3pm on Saturday as they bid to reach Wembley in the FA Trophy.

4. Pay a visit to Lacock Abbey to view the earliest of spring flowers with head gardener Sue Carter tomorrow from 2.30pm to 3.30pm.

5. Be inspired by the Peter Burke exhibition Earthworks, which is at the Victoria Art Gallery until Sunday. All the sculptures are handcrafted from soils excavated within 20 miles of Bath.

9. Get outside and back to nature, embracing the cold conditions predicted this weekend by trying out Nigel Vile's countryside walk. See page 59 for details.

10. And if the weather does take a turn for the worst and we see snow, dust down your toboggan and embrace your inner child on the many hills in and around Bath.
