SEVIGNY de ROSENVORT -- We met up with Isabel, who was Savannah's baby sitter when she was just one year old! A random Facebook connection the day before alerted us to the fact that Isabel lives only about an hour form Dijon so we had to stop in for a visit. It turned out to be an over-nighter as we settled in comfortably to her beautiful country house (an old mill) and the girls enjoyed the company of her five year old Havana, as well as numerous goats, chickens and Che the fat cat. It was a perfect stop over and great to catch up with our old TCI friend
Isabel moved to this little town in Burgundy from Hong Kong, where she lived for several years with her husband Perry, a pilot for Cathay Pacific (whom she met in TCI when he was flying for Sky King). Perry still lives there but gets to France about once a month. She is originally from Quebec so speaks fluent French and has made quite a life for herself, including running the 'jite' (sort alike a B&B) upstairs in the two bedroom apartment they renovated beautifully. Havana even has her own business, selling the eggs her chickens produce (1 euro for half dozen and Hubert gave them two thumbs up).
