New Aga squee!!!

[panik]

The chaps arrived from Hereford at the most un-godly hour of 7.30am but at least we got it all out of the way nice and early.

So the new!-shiny! is free-standing in the kitchen now till the builder comes back from sunning himself in Portugal to fit it, which is a bit of a pain but will have to be dealt with with fortitude and grace. It's very new! and shiny! and BLUE! and terribly exciting.

But OMG! Look at what we found when they brought the old one out! O:!!! Exactly like the wreck of the Titanic, but in slightly worse condition. To think we've had a fire going in this thing night and day for years.

Anyway, NEW-SHINY! is here, if far from up and running. Next up, Bolton Aga-Man arrives (hopefully), no doubt looking relaxed and tanned and does the thing with the cement and the plumbing and sets it all up so we can start cooking with it and picking the purty tiles for the splash back and put back the concealed lighting and - oh, everything. I can't wait to light a fire in her and start cooking (squeee!!!)

 .

And we found the long lost toasting fork down the back! It's all just win win win. *G*

I have AGA envy!!!

Love the old one - I could see a whole fiction based around it! And the "new" one - so very early 20th century! Do you actually have to light a fire in it to get it started? The color is amazing - Jim zoning on it because it matches Blair's eyes.... (am I obsessed or what?) In any case, I'm happy for you, and glad you survived what apparently was a conflagration-in-waiting.

It is beautiful, yes :)

And isn't it always scary when you haul out something that old and that... well, old? (I recall the last aircon unit came out in rusted shards...)

I've always thought these were marvelous creatures, but does your kitchen not become somewhat warm in the summertime? I barely even use my regular stove in the summer...

OMG - the poor old one must've been on its last legs.

I love the new one - so shiny and blue. Is it a he or a she?

Hope the wee chappie gets back from crisping himself soon and plugs you in to whatever needs plugging - you must be dying to get it lit. So glad it's gone well - and you found the toasting fork too! Wheeeee! *g*

So this post is an Aga saga? *g* It is indeed a Tardis sort of blue (and yes, so shiny) - a cooker that's bigger on the inside might be interesting to deal with....

You have a (new) Aga?!? You have a blue Aga???!!!

I may just hate you a little ;)
