Story time for the AGA
As part of AGA's 300th anniversary celebrations we're looking to track down 300 AGAs with the most interesting lives. Essentially, this means that if an AGA could talk, these ones would have the most interesting stories to tell.
I'm drawing up a rough list at the moment and it includes the AGAs of well-known chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Anthony Worrall Thompson - which must surely have cooked up some pretty amazing dishes. Also there are the AGAs of sporting greats including Ronaldo or Rio Ferdinand, which have probably been a source of comfort on days when things didn't go so well on the pitch.
Then there are the AGAs in Royal households, I like to think of the one at Highgrove cooking delicious ingredients from the famous kitchen garden or the one belonging to the Princess Royal drying out horse blankets.
Then there are the AGA cookers that have made it to far flung places. One has apparently just been put into a newly-built castle in China and there is, of course, the one that keeps everyone cosy at the South Pole.
Then there are those that belong stars of stage, screen and television, which must surely be the envy of gossip columnists, when you imagine the secrets they've been party too.
There are AGAs too, that have been boarded up for years, only to be discovered by their new and usually hugely delighted owners who have them polished and re-lit.
Among those I'm most desperate to see are the one at Charleston, home of the Bloomsbury set and the one at Lee Miller's house.
As you can imagine, it's a tricky job coming up with the 300 most interesting, which is why I'm looking for help. If you know of an AGA with a tale to tell, please let me know about it.
