Now that's a serious kitchen - I'll be around for lunch! You could feed a lot
of people out of that. Is the AGA a wood burner or gas? They are an expensive
middle-class cult item in the UK, especially nice, new colour enamelled ones,
but most people don't go as far as hewing wood for them or hooking them up as a
hot water system.
My late mother-in-law bought a small rural house with a classic black iron wood
stove. We used to roast legs of lamb in it at weekends over paperbark and old
red gum - I miss the smell and taste more than her.
(I know, callous - details of in-laws available on request, for those of robust
constitution).
