Love in a cold climate
A week after the furore caused by George Monbiot and things are not really quieting down. This morning I had 19 letters from people coming out in defence of their beloved cookers. Sadly tomorrow morning I won't be at home when the post arrives, as I shall be in London watching one of my dearest friends officially become a British citizen. She's from America but three things assure me she's even more British than those of us whose families have been here forever. The first is her finely tuned sense of irony, the second is the fact that she can talk about the weather for ages and seem genuinely interested and the third is her utter love of the Aga. Whenever she's here she plants herself firmly in front of it and much nudging is needed to move her out of the way. Conclusive proof, I'd say.
