End of February we went to France for two weeks, for work and holiday. After many grey, wet and windy weeks in The Hague we woke up to beautiful, crisp winter weather, with bright sunshine, that stayed until the last day. We were able to sit in the garden around lunchtime, have long walks with Pippin, and Piet was even able to cycle a few times.
The first week Piet was working from home, and our nephew Jeroen and his girlfriend Hannah joined for a week of skiing. Mary completed her recovery after surgery in January and spend a lot of time walking Pippin, and building up some stamina again. The second week was real holiday, with more walks, some work in the garden, and a visit to our friends Andre and Irene. Piet even managed two days of skiing, one day in Alpe d'Huez and the other in Les Deux Alpes.
