Swallow

Welcome friends!

I have very lucky to have a lovely pair of swallows nesting in my forge this year. They were busy as bees feeding their young. Swooping around above my head it was a pleasure to have the company while I was busy myself making utensil racks for some clients.

The pair raised 3 broods and the last of them were very late to leave. Mum and Dad had flown away in the first week of October. I took this picture in the second week of October and it was another week before they had gone. I hope they make it!

It is inspirational to me when such a small bird can travel so far. If you are determined to succeed then anything is possible.

Farriery was my first love. Horse shoeing is a wonderful skill and something that I still do every week. It also gave me the skills that I needed to serve my new clients at Made by the Forge. I believe in a good old fashioned service where the customer is the number 1 asset.
