French Connection
My Aga is feeling rather overworked as I've been recipe testing all weekend. The children, though, are thrilled by the development and our au pair, who is French, has declared English food as good as that from across the Channel, which is hugely flattering.
Actually, there's a bit of a French theme today as I opened a very funny letter from a lady called Anna, who moved from Devon to France a few years ago. Her husband had always wanted to live there, so she agreed to the move on the proviso that she could take her beloved Aga with her. Men were duly dispatched to take the Aga to pieces and they travelled across on the ferry to re-assemble it in its new home.
Anna was thrilled that the Aga was so at home in another country and set about showing it off to her new neighbours, explaining how the world's best cooker actually comes from England. A week or so after the move, Anna was wandering around Paris when she noticed the Aga shop. She kicked herself, she tells me, when she realised that she could have bought a brand new Aga in France and sold her house here for more money. Just goes to show - there are Aga shops where you'd least expect them.
