Pod

[no, not PoD]

I thought of this when I read sbisson's posting about Cyprus, with the snippet about the folding tripod, and thought I'd blog it rather than comment.

we picked up a Pod at Jessops a few weeks ago - a *really* neat beanbag tripod. I think it cost the princely sum of £20, and I might go and buy another one, because I can see perlmonger and I arguing over it on our forthcoming Ireland trip.

we have all manner of tripods here, and a monopod, but that Pod [not PoD] is just so easy to sling in your camera bag.

I want to go to Ireland with you and take pictures of mossy green things, waaaaaa.

I'm Irish and I've never been, except to the airport when changing flights.

Have fun hugs,
Jacqui

Ireland is fabulous - we try and go every couple of years; it's absolutely our favourite place to unwind.

of course, it's easy to get to for us - we can fly from our local airport (Bristol) in an hour, or we can drive for 3 hours to the ferry port and go that way.

we're going to be staying at Rosleague Manor (http://www.rosleague.com/) - I'm so looking forward to it.
