Brick-making for beginners

Today, JT and I spent some time with a family learning how to make bricks. Believe it or not, this is part of my job! The better we understand the daily lives of our patients, the better we can help them to maximise their function.


Making bricks reminds me of making sand-castles or mud-pies as a child! Unfortunately making bricks involves getting your hands covered in runny fresh cow dung, as dung stops the mud from sticking to the mould. JT and I managed to make some pretty good looking bricks - although we did take much longer than the locals!
