A Day in The Death of Joe Egg is the story of a young married couple, Bri (Brian) and Sheila. Bri really should have been an entertainer of some sort. He could have been a writer, a stand up comedian, a star of the silver screen. Sharp witted and able to turn the toughest of situations into a stand up comedy routine, life with Bri is always entertaining.

However Bri isn’t living the dream. Bri and Shelia, though a young and fun loving couple, are struggling not to give way to the pressures of caring for their disabled daughter, Joe, nicknamed “Joe Egg”. John Leslie Theatre What’s On!

perfect not a cloud in the sky and warm.

We got back to the car and made some lunch. Whilst eating we decided to make a snow cave and see how hard it would be to build.

Well it ended up more like a one man igloo than a snow cave, but that was ok because insted of lying in it you could fit a chair in it and sit. It took a few hours to make.

Using a shovel we cut bricks and slowly bricked it up and leaning in the sides to meet at the top. One thing about building with snow is there is plenty of it to use as mortar, and it worked like super glue . On the inside we rubbed our hands on the wall and it caused it to melt slightly, sealing it off so it ended up with ice lined walls that didn’t drip.

Once we finshed we took turns of sitting in it and took photos, the day was getting late and soon the working week was to start so we left with great ideas , next years plans are to build a bigger one . Exploring your own backyard
