After my shoot with The Farming Life Centre based in Blackwell, Derbyshire I headed across the courtyard to see if I could take some pictures of Darren the resident Blacksmith. Darren informed me he has had a few photographers take pictures of him over the years and I can see why – I could have spent all day chatting to him and photographing him working at his forge and anvil. But with Mrs Lord in the car and a 3 hour journey back home I could only spend about 10 minutes with him and his resident cat!

Here are some of my favourite pictures from the shoot.
