Three in a Marriage – Jan Bedwas

For over thirty years of married life there have been three of us, myself, my husband and our Aga, Originally we had a blue coal fired Aga. Our Aga controlled our home. It required regular feeding, and responded best to high grade Welsh anthracite coal. We always considered carefully any overnight stays away from home. Our Aga disaproved of our absences and would go out if really displeased. We would return to a cold unwelcoming home, with an equally cold forbidding Aga. In spite of many years of practise getting our Aga to relit was still a hit and miss affair. If there was low air pressure our kitchen would fill with smoke. In spite of this we never ever considered changing to another cooker. The welcoming warmth, the comfort if we were ever unwell, fantastic Victoria sandwiches, mouth watering jionts on Sundays, equisite pies on weekdays, slow roast casseroles on returning from work.Not to mention the twenty eight pound turkey, that fed all the family on Christmas day. All of these things made any demands our Aga cared to make well worth the trouble. Two years ago we decided to modernise our kirchen. After consulting our local Aga shop we decided to upgrade to a 13 amp cream electric Aga with an integral module. I was very anxious as I thought something as important as the Aga couldn't function on a simple electric point. I needn't have worried, it has been love at first sight. My new Aga cooks as well as my old without any of the old Aga's tantrums. The whole range looks spectacular, cooks woderfully, heats our kitchen, dries and irons my clothes. I didn't need a tumble drier, microwave, toaster. The Aga is the centre of my new 21st century minimalist kitchen.
