AGA_Stories
 

Owner: Mrs Humphries
Model: cream 2-oven
Vintage: 1938
Location: Nympsfield, Gloucestershire
Snapshot: Mrs Humphries’ parents, both in their 80s, have successfully brought up six children, numerous grandchildren and various pets – all in the home they built themselves. At the centre of this home is their AGA, which for over 45 years has warmed the family. Although Mrs Humphries’ mother is now quite ill she still produces fantastic meals for all of her family and friends. Mrs Humphries says: “Her meringues and puddings are legendary.” The AGA has also been used to shelter dogs and cats from cold winter days and keep the whole family warm. Most of the children now have their own AGAs in their family homes and love them almost as much as the old AGA that is the heart and soul of their parents’ home.
Finest Hour: One Christmas the whole village wound up without electricity so many villagers piled into the house to warm themselves by the coal AGA, which continued to chug on.
