Hidden Secrets
I'm having a lovely morning going through my emails, many of which concern ancient Agas still providing sterling service after more than 50 years. The stories that come with these cookers are both extraordinary and amusing.
Last year Tom Shea, from Northampton, began converting an old building to be turned into a day nursery. His idea was to teach very young children about good food and involve them in growing, harvesting and preparing their own organic food. He was in for a huge surprise, though, as he set about renovating the building. He thought the previous owner had died, but it turned out she was alive and well and living a few miles away from his holiday cottage in Norfolk.
He, of course, went to see her and - over numerous cups of tea - learned the many secrets of the building.
It was a worthwhile trip - Tom learned of a secret room, a 17th century well, an antique fireplace and - you've guessed it - an ancient Aga. As you can see from the pictures, Tom and his team wasted no time in uncovering it and are now looking forward to finding out more about its history.
Don't forget to let us know if you have an Aga story. You can do so by emailing me here.
