I had simple ambitions as a child of 5…one was to be an artist and the other was to own an aga! Well I am well on my way to achieving the first but the aga still alludes me. Maybe one day one will arrive on freecycle, all the planets will be aligned in my favour and the cooking phenomenon will be mine! Til then my ambition is but a dream!
The aga scenario has strong links with my grandmother Agnes Gertrude Webb, a formidable woman, a force to be reckoned with but the owner of a fabulous cooking contraption. Memories of childhood are infused with flashbacks of suet puddings, toast & beef dripping with too much salt and the comfort & safety of this great big stove! Everything seemed okay with the world at the age of 5.
