Your Aga is a dream of mine. About 5 years ago during my last pregnancy, I was on bed rest & spent the time researching Agas for days & days. I knew nothing about them then, but fell in love after a week of watching video Aga cooking classes & reading their history. I started noticing Agas popping up in British movies & tv shows. I believe one of the episodes on the BBC's All Creatures Great & Small tv series shows a farmer's wife popping a nearly frozen & dying kitten into one of the cooler ovens in a box to warm & revive it.<br /><br />The sheep painting is fantastic. I got a chuckle searching for the "distracted" one. Lol <br /><br />Since you mentioned Netflix: Have you ever seen All Creatures? It's on Netflix instant play, I think. The 1st 3 seasons are the best, but the others are good too. Filmed in northern England you get some great views of the Dales, & plenty scenes of sheep that remind me of your painting. I watch them to unwind. <br /><br />I thoroughly enjoyed this post! <br /><br />Mend soon!<br />Love,<br />KeriIvy Cladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307765640404949525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959215552614212117.post-22761411686752301132014-02-13T08:00:07.915-06:002014-02-13T08:00:07.915-06:00Good god, girl.

I have admired the look of them for many years and always wondered how one would cook on them. It was fun to learn from you how it is done. You are more than within your rights to have a love affair with it!

On winter school mornings, my mom used to put our school clothes into the oven for a while so they were all toasty before we got dressed. When I went to high school and had to do domestic science, I put my pot of whatever on the stove and waited....everyone's else's was bubbling away and mine was doing nothing. The teacher then came and told me that I hadn't switched the stove on. I had no idea that other stoves needed switching on! :) I'm very envious of your AGA, but not of your broken foot Poor you, although some downtime does sound appealing. xx SharonSharon Lee Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08392930272028406164noreply@blogger.com
