Jam, Jerusalem and err, melons.
In line with the rest of the world, things at Aga have been pretty tough in the past few weeks. While, in true British style, everyone keeps a stiff upper lip and a nose to the grindstone, news of financial downturn and general global woes have left us all feeling a little less sunny than usual.
So we were mightily cheered up by a video clip that made its way on to our computer screens. Created by iBall - the people who make financial matters understandable to the masses - the clip features one Camilla Goodwinston-Hurley of the Chipping cum Bicester chapter the Cheltenham WI.
While she slowly strips off for yet another WI calendar, she extols the virtues of her beloved Aga, describing it as dependable, constantly working and part of the family. As I type this in front of my own Aga, I feel a certain kinship with the delightful Mrs G-H.
Now times are tough, we Aga owners need to stick together and spread the word about the world's best cooker. One day, I hope to meet the lovely Camilla; we could swap recipes, share stories of wet dogs and Rugby boots and I'm rather hoping that in exchange for my butternut squash recipe she might let me into the secret of how she keeps her melons so perky.
