Nature`s Fridge

Holidays in Wales, great times were had by all
idyllic landscape around an old wooden hall
early each morning a trip to the little stream
to fetch the milk, butter and maybe some cream
for the stream was our fridge, keeping everything cool
it was quite a quirky system that we loved as a rule
taking turns to  visit the quaint part of nature
water flowing slowly past, is an unusual feature
not so pleasant to traipse outside for a treat
on a cold dark night, through wind or sleet!
the fridge in the stream created fab memories
to tell my kids about my childhood stories
