Snapshot: Steve and Brenda bought their solid-fuel AGA in 1991. It came complete with the original 1940s guarantee, registration forms and handbook. Steve lovingly refers to the AGA as his “baby” but, as Brenda says, is a little less inclined to feed it in the colder months. “He doesn’t always feel like getting the coal in then!” Brenda dries her silk flowers and airs the ironing on the AGA and says “there’s nothing nicer than coming in from the cold and getting warmed up by it”. Some of Brenda’s friends have asked how she manages to cook on something with no dials. Brenda’s answer is simple: “I would have trouble cooking with a conventional oven – I’d probably forget to turn it on!”
