It is Friday again…… there are occasions in these troubled times, when normal is far from normal, that the days of the week blend seamlessly together and even merge with the weekend.
I am though, pretty sure that the Blacksmith and his assistant ( probably have been some young lad who should have been at school), would know when the working week was coming to its close (probably Saturday lunchtime if they were lucky). The Blacksmiths Shop above has long since stood idle…gone is the noise, heat and smells from hot coals and the metal being shaped with the thud of a hammer.
Just for the record…it is Friday…I think
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other

A good blacksmith was (and is) worth his (or her) weight in gold. I have long admired their craft and consider it to be a form of successful alchemy.

I can still remember watching a local Blacksmith putting a new shoe on the Milkman Shire Horse…the smell when the hot shoe went onto the hoof can still be recalled.
