Aga sagas
There are few places in the world I'd rather be than sitting happily by my Aga drinking a large mug of tea or, after six, a large glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Invariably my sausage dog, Smudge, will perch on one knee and one of the Bengal kittens will sit on the other.
Sadly, tea drinking doesn't pay the bills, and while much of my work is actually done in the kitchen, I have to occasionally leave and go out into the cold.
Much of my time is spent writing, which is lovely and agonising in equal parts. When it goes well, it's like ballet, and words simply dance on to the page. When it goes badly it's desperate and there are few things as bleak as staring at a blank document on the screen, willing the words to come.
I've now got a new job, too, which frankly is my dream role. I've been appointed as Aga's Brand Ambassador, which sounds rather grand, but actually involves talking a lot - for which I'm eminently qualified - abut Agas, one of my favourite things.
One of the things I'm going to be doing is tracking down interesting Aga stories, so if you use an Aga in an interesting way, have funny tales or an ancient Aga you'd like to know more about then please get in touch. You can email me content@aga-web.co.uk and I'll get back to you.
I'm hoping that once I've collected anecdotes, ephemera and pictures I'll be writing up the stories and posting them here. So, all contributions would be very gratefully received.
