Zeb and Martha have been to Fareham

We had arranged collection of Martha on 4 September, but didn't think it would happen on that day as DVLA hadn't registered it until the last day of August.  Thankfully our collection slot had been reserved for us so we booked a few nights at Rookesbury Park Club Campsite to stay for the handover.

We loaded Zeb and drove to the site on Sunday.  After setting up on site we stayed on site as it was so hot in the afternoon.  We have loved every minute of our adventures in Zeb so were a little apprehensive about the change, especially as we had been waiting so long for our new van.

Our handover was booked for 10.00am on Monday, so we had an early start to pack the rest of our belongings into boxes and bags before driving to Southdown Motorhomes.  The handover was a bit chaotic, but we were happy with all we had been shown so drove back to the site stopping for some shopping and some diesel.   After setting up on site we unpacked some of our bags and boxes before sitting outside Martha for the rest of the afternoon.

We had decided to have another couple of nights on the site before heading back home so we could try everything in the van whilst we were still close to the dealership, just in case there were any problems.  After our hectic day on Monday we decided to go for a walk into Wickham on Tuesday - it was a very hot day but the walk through the woods was lovely and cool.  We had lunch at The King's Head before walking back through the woods to the site and sitting in the shade.

Wednesday was another very hot day so we decided to stay on site.  We spent the day sitting in the shade and trying to keep us (and Martha) cool .  We spent time making some lists of a few things we want to buy for Martha too.

Thursday was our day to travel back home.  We enjoyed our days at the site and starting to get used to our new van and know it's been the right choice for us.
