When Kim moved into her house in 1991 she was overjoyed to find a solid-fuel cream AGA in the kitchen. A neighbour who was a plumber called round to fix a leak and was thrilled to see that it was the same AGA he had installed as a 17-year-old in 1957. “He told me it was second-hand and had come from an old barn not very far away,” says Kim. Since then, the AGA simmering oven has dried out rugby boots, made candles, baked school projects, warmed new-born lambs and cooked a “mountainous quantity of food over the years”. Kim has now had the AGA converted to oil and says she’d be unable to live without an AGA in her house. |
