THE BLACKSMITH

Ireland – fifth day of our holiday (22th July, 2019).
At the Muckross farming village there was this croft where a blacksmith was working with the old tools of the past. We started a conversation with him and he explained to us his trade. He was making something to order not just whiling away his time.
Thanks you so much for looking, for your comments and fav's. Always appreciated.

There aren’t many of these people Blacksmiths around these days although on our walk yesterday we saw a farrier school at the college..sort of similar route I suppose. Would be interesting to chat & have a warm up!
