Your mention of the first proper fridge that your parents had reminds of the big black and white telly that my family had when I was young. It was big and square with two large dials to operate it. How technology has moved on from that!! It is interesting to hear about your family history and the food preservation.

It was a primitive system, I suppose, and not nearly as sophisticated as the ice house seen here. Not only was the ice house architecturally more attractive, but safer (from animal or human thieves) as well. I remember when my parents bought their first proper fridge in the 1950s... an amazing day!
