A century of memories...
My post-opening skills become more finely tuned each day. Now I can open and read about 40 letters in 90 minutes. give or take a few. Having said that, letters that have pictures of sweet little animals enclosed take a few minutes longer as I feel the need to share them with anyone who happens to be in the house at the time.
This morning's haul was a good one and I found myself laughing out loud a number of times - never more heartily, though, than when I read the charming letter from Nicholas Zelle.
It began 'Ours certainly won't be the oldest Aga. however my mother (101 years old) might well be one of the oldest Aga owners.
The letter went on to explain that the Aga was installed during the summer of 1952 and has been happily cooking ever since. Mr Zelle remembers it providing warmth to a gosling for its first few days of life and also recalls a number of burnt offerings, forgotten in the ovens. The record holder is currently an Apple Charlotte, which cooked for 14 days before anyone remembered it.
