We were out on Aga business today. We thought we had it all sorted really.......we would trade in our current Aga for a reconditioned electric one! Then...................I was doodling about on the laptop and I came across an Aga dealer offering a brand new one at a competative price - so competative it was cheaper than a reconditioned one! We decided to have a drive to Catterick and have a close look at a reconditioned one.
Whilst we were out that way we popped in to see Pat and The Farmer for a coffee! What a lovely day we had. Jon and the Farmer were having a deep discussion about Agas - at one point Jon was on the floor with his head practically inside the Aga! Pat and I were enthusing about the joys of chicken keeping (see Pat's chickens above)
I have the feeling we will we popping in again! Pat and the farmer live so near to a popular biking road we use often and it always nice to know a place where we can stop and warm up!
Yes a great weekend!
I love those unexpected adventures that lead to such simple pleasures :-)
ReplyDeleteAh, decisions, decisions!!
ReplyDeleteI smiled at your first photo - the black hen looks as if she's wondering how to get the food from the bird feeder :-)
I must admit that I had to Google what "Aga business" might be and settled for a gas-stove and not a historic site not far from here :-)
ReplyDeleteBut green lawns!!!
PS I'm sorry I have had to drop out of ABC - at least for a while.
Talk about an "Aga-saga" LOL nothing like thorough research before parting with large amounts of cash!
ReplyDeleteI see Agas on the BBC Canada home shows, that I LOVE! (Escape to the Country, Fantasy Homes by the Sea) But even some Brits don't want an Aga as they appear to be so complicated. But I love how you described your new electric one and how you can set it according to how you want. I love the cream and this way you'll get to use the blue as highlights in the kitchen. It's going to look fab! :D
ReplyDeleteI see everything is beginning to green up very nicely over there.
ReplyDeleteKLo
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! A lovely, unexpected visit - such a lovely day.

No worries re ABC - you have joined in for nearly 4 years - I think you deserve a rest. You know where we are xx

ReplyDeleteCorrect - even now I am wheeling and dealing! There is room for negotiation apparantly! Buyers market!

Indeed - it is a good Jon is an engineer - he does all the fiddling on, the humping coal acrosss the kitchen in all weathers - and the modifications on the damper - by the time you come here the new one will be fitted and you can warm yourself up and have a cuppa!
Chris -
Yes - Spring is here! (whispering)
It just shows that it's definitely worth shopping around. Sounds like you had a lovely day out.

ReplyDeleteDefinately - on both counts. Yes the Aga business is turning into its own saga - will let it rest for a while. My head is full! lol!
Thankyou for leaving such a nice comment on my blog. I had an Aga for a short time and then we moved house again just as I was getting used to it. I like the fabric for your new curtains and your hens look so lovely settling down for the night. I do sell my work sometimes and the landscapes will be £60 each.
ReplyDeleteA new Aga cheaper than a reconditioned one has got to be the best deal eh?
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to meet like minds.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of an aga but really i'm very happy with my rangemaster. Although I do love the idea of sitting next to an Aga on a cold day with my feet up, a cup of tea and a book.
