You're closer to God in a Pod

When the gilt's worn off your glamping, and you've finished flirting with a yurt, it may be time for you to discover Dorset in a Pod.

It was love at first sight... I had to have one. 


A Pod is more than a caravan, it is a minor work of art rather than a piece of white goods on wheels. So it should be. Each one is entirely and lovingly handmade by Patrick an ex-Royal College of Art student and founder of the one and only Bakelite museum to be found  in the unfortunately named village of Williton, Somerset.
Its tiny frame, just nine feet from stem to stern, contains sleeping accommodation for two which converts nattily to a seating area complete with table while to the rear is a gas cooker and functioning sink . Chuck in electric lighting and there you have it..camping nirvana.

But best of all are the admiring stares of the hoi poloi as you sail proudly by with n'er a care o'er hill and dale. 
Poetry in motion...
