Summer 2021 (II)

In the middle of the summer Piet had to work 4 weeks, which was split between France and The Netherlands. He did a 10 day round trip to The Hague to be physically present when his new team started, after completing a massive reorganisation within Shell. The other 2 weeks he worked from the house in France, something he will do more often in the future. In the same period Mary and Paula organised their second vaccination in France, as the government were starting very strict measures, and limiting almost all public activities for people who were not fully vaccinated. Registration back home is ongoing.

During August the number of visitors declined, and the last 2 weeks we were just with the two of us, and Pippin. This was a relaxing time with hikes, bike rides and some work around the house; in short: classic Bassey behaviours. At the end of the month we drove back fully relaxed, looking forward to return early October.
