So they didn’t go for either the sun or snow as previously rumoured. Instead, Prince William and Kate Middleton are back in Birkhall in Balmoral for a New Year retreat.  This time last year, they were also in this Scottish retreat, braving cold temperatures as Wills surprised Kate with a date in a fire-lit log cabin

A source told The Sun: “They loved the peace and quiet there last year and decided there was nowhere they’d rather be together. Any days they spend with each other are incredibly precious because of William’s busy career schedule, so they want to make sure that when he has time off, it is quality time.”

Surely, engagement rumors are swirling again.  Bookmakers have slashed engagement odds for 2010 after the Sandringham privacy implementation.  The couple are understood to have spent Christmas apart — with William at Sandringham and Kate with her family.

Prince William has completed his time in RAF Shawbury and is due to collect his wings this month.  Prince Charles is expected to attend the ceremony.  He passed his helicopter flying courses before Christmas.  It will be at least another 6 months of training before Wills becomes qualified as an RAF Search and Rescue pilot.
