This sleepy labrador made me laugh! It was (rather uncomfortably) lying out in the sunshine on the cobbles outside Malham Smithy, in the centre of the village. These days the Malham blacksmith is Annabelle Bradley, who uses traditional techniques and contemporary designs to produce decorative items for the home and garden.
As we get tired dogs also get tired sometimes. Let it take it's own time to get back!
ReplyDeleteThe village blacksmith certainly does not conform to the usual stereotype, but then neither does Malham.
ReplyDeleteMust be a fun job. I know one blacksmith who lives the job 24-7 in my area. The dog made me smile.
ReplyDeleteGood to see an ancient craft being kept alive.
ReplyDeleteDogs and cats seem to be able to sleep anywhere :) So good to see these traditions kept alive Jenny.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see a woman as a blacksmith!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post and a great shot of the smithy at work. Like your humour too.
ReplyDeleteHe looks dog tired. (Groan.) I wonder why the blacksmith decided to follow this untraditional occupation.
