THE ROOM THAT STARTS IT ALL


The kitchen is the heart of the house.


But I'm sniffy about it.


It's dated.

It's scruffy.

It's dim.


But it's where we always end up.

The warmth of the Aga in winter.

The access to the gardens in summer.


But I feel let down by it. I feel it lets down the house. And I feel we could be more imaginative about the use of space and at the same time, by doing not that much, elevate the house to a status it deserves, still having at its heart a wonderful living space.
