I live in a small old mill town nestled into the Pennine hills in Yorkshire with my long-suffering husband of thirty some years. I have two beautiful daughters who have flown the nest (most of the time!). I paint and draw (a little) when time allows, make and bake sometimes but not often enough and garden and grow things as much as possible. I recycle and up-cycle, hate waste and I couldn’t live without my time planner and lists.

Gosh, this brings back memories……..a whole new range of thinking when we replaced the Aga with a Rayburn…….some would cry out at such a decision but we had the second hand aga for 20 years…and it was only a cooker. Rayburn is a complete unit – central heating boiler as well as cooker – but it kicks out muck………….so in need of decorating kitchen now…..still we are warm! Interstingly – Rayburns going like mad on ebay – solid fuel ones yes – oil and gas – no. Why we got rid of our oil system – money issues!!

An Aga or Rayburn would probably take up the whole of our little kitchen!! We may put one in if we go to live at the cottage permanently. For our little house here it will be a conventional cooker. This will be my first new kitchen ever! We just seem to have expensive tastes!! Better get out the bread and jam for next few weeks and start saving.

It would be fun to plan a kitchen. What brought about the need to change it – an updating, or need for more functional space?

Our units are so old they are falling to bits and cannot be held together with temporary bits of wood any longer!

It’s great fun planning a kitchen from scratch, I got to do it many years ago when I bought my first ever house for myself and I said NO to the cutlery drawer question…. I had no drawers at all, I’m terrible for filling them up with clutter and never being able to find anything. It worked a treat just having cupboards even though my kitchen was tiny.

Out of curiosity where then did you put the cutlery?

Good luck with the new kitchen!
