What is it about Forges, Blacksmith and bending metal? More than once have I rabbited on here and there about the attraction of the forge. Then a few more things come along together to warrant another rabbiting. In Bantry recently, I spotted another plaque to a former forge, and to Denis Sexton. Then Robert’s blog was about Umha Aois at Skibbereen Arts Festival where metal pieces were made using metal furnaces – something that would have kept me enthralled. This week, looking through the listings for Heritage Week, I spotted that there will be a working forge at Coppeen on Sunday. I would love to be there but suspect that other plans have been made. | And the children coming home from school |
