Safely back in Blighty, the weather is living up to the name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived in Portsmouth to sunshine. Had a catch up dinner with family before driving back down to Bosham to pick up our bags. I had a chat with our mechanic and the motorhome service company at the storage facility to schedule some work on the Hymer in our absence. I spread this work a couple of months apart to keep the batteries charged at regular intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had planned on washing the Hymer today before it goes into storage tomorrow, but there seems little point today as the weather has turned to rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we sit in this Caravan and Camping Club site in Southbourne with little to do, other than watch the rain. Pam has run a couple of loads of washing through and we have cleaned the interior thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
