GEORGE'S BIRTHDAY

Well dear readers, it is here again. Yes...my birthday. Yes that's me at 19 above with 4 years before the mast already done! I am well known for not getting excited about my birthday. I love other people having birthdays, but I'm sorry, I just cannot accept getting older. I feel the same as I did 40 years ago. I know that the "right" thing to do is gracefully accept the passing of time, but you know....to heck with that. I still want to sail the Atlantic single handed ( Betty's not too keen on that one ) I know that I can do it. I have the knowledge from years at sea, and the get up and go to carry it through. At the moment our business is still very demanding and Betty is a hard taskmaster. We are promoting Betty's products on every medium we can think of. The latest is stab into Facebook where you learn more about us by clicking this link:

So if you want make a gently aging man very happy, and move him just a bit closer to his dream of semi-retirement, please look at and preferably purchase some of our wonderful new products. I promise that I will monitor any of your customer concerns
even whilst passing the Lizard Point in a strong southwesterly. God bless you all and please remember this old French sailors proverb if you happen to be talking with my dearest Betty and accidentally let slip to her my transatlantic plans:

No matter how treacherous is the sea, a woman will always be more so!

BETTY'S NEW CATALOGUE

Dear Readers,
What a nasty wet day it is today! Still, it does mean those cosy evenings by the Aga and the Aga woodstove are back. Betty asked me if I would give her new catalogue a mention on my blog, and in anticipation of a slap up supper tonight, I thought it would be prudent to acceed to her request. She has sent out quite a few in the mail, but as that practice might be a bit cutailed for a while, I would like to tell you that all the products are gradually making it onto our new website at www.twyford-cookers.com. The catalogue contains details of our Aga and range cooker cleaning materials ( pictured above ), laundry accessories, drying racks and Shelia Maids, garden bits and pieces, kitchenware, etc.etc. It is all super stuff and really well priced. Ideal for that special Christmas present. I have also put one of my fantastic log stores and equipment for carrying logs and kindling into the catalogue, so please...do have a look. As always, I thank you for your support.

AGA TWYFORD ADVANCES

Hello Again Dear Readers,
Betty thought I should bring you up to date on some of our latest best selling products and also on the advances made by our competition. I am glad to advise that we have seen a great surge in the sales of our super duper 13 amp Electric Agas. They are so easy to install, no complicated flue work, and we even include delivery and basic fitting on your ready site in the price! Naturally we only supply these Agas as they were i.e. NO CONVERSIONS from other types. The electronics is all supplied brand new from Aga, the enamelling is done at Aga ( no one else can do that! ). Betty herself has a 3 oven, and believe me if it wasn't 100 percent perfect, I would be researching a supplier for reycyclable dog houses for her latest catalogue. The controllability is great ( Betty likes taking control ), and the running costs are very moderate and compare favourably with other fuel types. In short...we luv um! Now, some of our competitiors are working on supplying their own versions of renovated/converted electric Agas, and we say jolly good luck with their systems. One of them sent me his latest photo of the control panel ( pictured above ). Heavens chaps!...I thought the idea of an Aga was to keep it simple!!

THE ALL NEW WEBSITE

Well I wanted to say a big thank you to all who helped put our new website together. It was a long and sometimes frustrating experience but I hope you all agree it was worth the effort. It is packed full of all the information you ever wanted to know about Aga cookers and all the other products made by Aga. Of course dear Betty and her products are not forgotten and in fact they are selling like hot cakes. Our internal computer expert Adin has been a major player in making sure that the website came up to scratch and in appreciation of his efforts we have put his photo at the top of this blog...my goodness it's no wonder all the girls love him! What a splendid fellow he is.

On The Road to Morocco

Today I thought I would go back in time a bit to last summer when I whisked Betty off to Marrakech on a week’s holiday. It was a spur of the moment thing and so my usual careful planning went out of the window. Thus, I did not realise that Morocco would be 40 degrees in the shade in June. The flight was painless enough, and we were met by a driver who took us on a long dusty and exotic drive out into the desert to the Jnane Tamsna hotel. On arrival, the sight of a large and dazzlingly blue swimming pool was too good to ignore. One could I deduced, easily observe that it had been carefully constructed at a level depth of 4 feet throughout for convenience and thus, happily confident, I plunged straight in. Well dear readers when I tell you that all good sailors cannot swim (including Lord Nelson), and I also tell you that I spent a large part of my early life as a ships captain; you will begin perhaps to arrive at my first challenge of the trip. I sank to the bottom of what turned out to be a pool constructed using the stunningly clever technique of optical illusion viz. dear readers, 4 feet actually turned out to be 12 feet. Betty’s next short story would have been entitled “Death in Marrakech” had it not been for a bit of panicky grabbing of the poolside edge.

Jnane Tamsna despite its pool designer who must be a close relative of Eisenstein the famous illusionist, was an absolutely stunning place. A fantastic organic garden set in the middle of a desert oasis. Betty was delighted by the beautiful gardens and exotic desert flowers. A large part of the grounds are planted with vegetables used to supply the kitchen and the ground is divided up into small square plots each irrigated on a rotational basis by miles of shallow water ditches. The meals were simple and organic and served out on a terrace by the swimming pool. We breakfasted early before the sun became too strong and dined at sundown as the wails of the prayer caller at the great mosque miles away in the old city wafted across the parched sand. I was already thinking about the logistics of curling a towel around my head, changing my name to Lawrence, and booking the next day’s camel ride into the Atlas mountains.
The hotel, although having all the appearance of being built in the 1940’s is I am assured a modern replica built over the years from 1985 onwards. It was very hard to believe this as the atmosphere is definitely from a previous colonial era.

Anyway, I digress. To get the crux of this story, it was in this wonderful place that Betty decided that not only should we start our own vegetable plot at home, but that we should sell a very special range of gardening accessories; wonderful baskets, watering cans, herb pots, apple stores, etc.etc. all in wonderful retro designs and colours. This idea was put into practice on her return home and now you can see many of the initial stock items on the website at http://www.twyford-cookers.com/cookware

So just to close, if you feel like a restful trip to a desert oasis, and fell in love with Lawrence of Arabia try the amazing Jnane Tamsna whose stunning website is at http://www.jnanetamsna.com/ I don’t think you will be disappointed. But, just a small caution……. beware of mirages, especially in the vicinity of water !

Dulcet Tones

Dear readers, it started on Monday morning as I was about to leave for work. The telephone rang (which is unusual in our house at 7.00am in the morning ). Usually at that time of day one can expect either financially challenged or suddenly pregnant children, but no, this time it was a call from an old friend of my late mothers -Dulcie Tennant. Mother always used to refer to her affectionately as Dulcet Tones.

When I tell you that my dear mother Iris died in 1980 at the age of 70 you will appreciate that her old school friend Dulcie is now around 99 and since she is now partially deaf, conversation proceeded, or perhaps preceded is the correct term, at a rather pedestrian rate. Dulcie however, despite her advanced age has many up to date ideas and has managed to stay in the forefront of technology. Her greatest love is her old period cottage, and above all her most treasured possession….her 1941 cream traditional solid fuel Aga.

“ Lugging this wretched coal about is really getting me down dear “ she said using an almost exact impression of Michael Winner. “ Is it possible you could switch it over to some other fuel dear”. “Well Auntie Dulcie” I shouted back ( in the interests of not having to repeat things at least three times ), “It would definitely be better for you to change it over to oil or gas. Less work for you, how about the colour ?”.” I suppose you want to keep it traditional cream ?” “Aubergine dear” she skwarked, its all the rage, I saw it on your web thingy at http://www.twyford-cookers.com/ can you change it to Aubergine ? “

“Well of course I can” I said, instantly realising that this job was going to be overseen like a military operation with Dulcet Tones as the five star general. I was already thinking I’d probably made a rod for my own back as now 5 minutes late I lurched on to the station platform at 8.35 to get the 8.30 for Paddington. Still, what is life without a challenge I thought as I was forced to leap onto the train which was now almost halfway out of the station. “Dulcet Tones” I whispered as my knee banged the edge of the open carriage door.
