I do love my Aga but, being over 80 years old, it can be temperamental and this week it has gone on strike. Sadly the result is no real cooking in our house as our only alternative means of cooking are the BBQ (not great in this weather) and a microwave. Luckily the engineer is here at the moment fixing it so hopefully by this evening it will be working again and boiling a kettle will take less than the 25 minutes it was taking earlier in the week! Hopefully you will allow me to use this as a valid excuse for not posting a recipe today!

Does the Aga-man know that the patient is a "celebrity-aga" ?

Poor you. My Aga (not quite as old as yours, but older than me) is on strike, and I am thinking of having it out, replacing it with a woodburning stove with oven. Racked with indecision, all the family furious with me, as it is the principle means of heating our kitchen, which is the only room we use daily ...

Haha, I know how temperamental AGA's can be as we have a huge one up at the big house and oddly enough it has been on the blink this week as well. The AGA man was there yesterday to fix it though so hopefully things are back to normal today! I would love to have my very own down here in the cottage . . .
