After Tony's funeral Piet, Mary, Lars and Dorien returned to the house in France, and Paula went on a hike in the Pyrenees, with some friends from her rowing club. This turned out as a typical Lambregts family holiday; we did some cycling, hiking, horse riding and work around the house. After a week Dorien and Lars returned to The Netherlands, as Lars was starting his new job in Shell, and Paula and Jasper came to replace them. The only change was the addition of rock climbing as activity.
Piet and Mary made a small trip to celebrate their 25 year wedding anniversary, and visited the famous Palais Ideal in Hauterives, did a hike around the Hermitage vineyards and finished the day off in the excellent La Cachette restaurant in Valence. The next day a planned hike in the Vercors fell into the water, as it rained most of the day. But this downpour was quite welcome, as it had been warm and very dry the whole month of July.
