Description
True story...
A friend of mine was brought up on a farm. She moved away a number of years ago, but managed to get back home whenever she could, to visit her Mum and Dad (bless him). They were a lovely old couple, but sort of stuck in a bygone era of ploughs and washboards.
On one particular visit, my friend noticed that her mother was still using the old solid metal Iron,(the type that went on the stove to heat up), and decided to buy her an electric, steam super dooper one as a present.
Her next visit home was a good few months later.
She noticed when she went into the kitchen, that the new electric Iron had the cable cut off it, and was warming up nicely on the stove!

Aha some times it is better to use the old methods! I hope they kept the plug for the time you might need one! My friend still has an old arga range and it is fantastic and looks the biz. Lovely toning and a lovely moody shot. "theres a moose loose aroond the hoose"
