A constant throughout Caroline’s life has been the AGA which was the means of cooking for her mother and the provider of warmth for the family and pets during colder months. Caroline says: “The kitchen was the only warm room in the house.” During Caroline’s 58 years the AGA has always been the heart of the family home, especially when she was growing up. Both she and her mother have cooked on it for the whole family, always getting praise for the finely cooked meals that the AGA could produce. In the very early 60s Caroline’s mother, who was rather asthmatic, decided to have the coal AGA converted to oil. |
| Finest Hour: |
When the engineer arrived at the house to give a quote on the conversion he said the AGA was just too old to be converted. To this Caroline’s mother promptly replied: “If St. Paul’s could be converted then she had no reason to believe her AGA could not.” The engineer converted the coal AGA to oil and it has worked solidly since. |
