Bygd av det de hadde

Kapellet på Lamb Holm er to militærbrakker satt sammen. En vaktmester åpnet det. "Hva jobber du med?" spurte hun ham. Han åpnet dørene om morgenen og lukket dem om kvelden.

The chapel on Lamb Holm is two army huts joined together. A caretaker was opening it. "What is your job?" she asked him. He opened the doors in the morning and closed them at night.

Inne glemmer du brakkene. Italienske fanger kom hit i nittenførtiårene. De ba om et sted å be. De fikk brakker av metall. De laget et malt tak og en vegg av jern.

Inside, you forget the huts. Italian prisoners came here in the nineteen forties. They asked for a place to pray. They were given metal huts. They made a painted ceiling and an iron screen.

"Hva trenger du for å fullføre arbeidet?" De ba om sement. De fikk sement. Alt annet kom fra søppel. Lysestakene er gamle bokser.

"What do you need to complete the work?" They asked for cement. They got cement. Everything else came from rubbish. The candle holders are old tins.

Et lite verktøy lå i vinduskarmen. "Kan du vise meg hvordan jeg bruker dette verktøyet?" spurte Polly. Han viste henne det. "Kan du forklare det en gang til?" Det gjorde han.

A small tool sat on the sill. "Could you show me how to use this tool?" Polly asked. He showed her. "Could you explain that again?" He did.
