	The italian Chapel	514 dagen geleden
	Guido left Orkney in 1945 after three years of building the chapel and Churchill barriers. He came to Gloucestershire as a prisoner to work on the farms where he later met my grandmother, He never said much about pre Gloucestershire but my mother remembers having his big grey coat on her bed to keep out the cold in the winter. Only a few years ago we saw a programme on the tv and my mum told gramp, he told us he had helped to build the chapel and since we have looked into it as much as possible and managed to help him return there. we did this last week and it was one of the most amasing experiences of my life! We left home at 8am 28th june08 to go to Birmingham Airport.After a late flight we picked up a car and Ian drove to Gills Bay, 7hrs later...we arrived there and boarded the ferry to St Margarets Hope Orkney, The scenery was breathtaking little did we realise that this would probably be one of the most rewarding and emotional holidays of our lives. When we arrive Pat the lady who we were renting the beautiful Cottage(Erract)fromf was waiting for us, she even made us scones and scott's pancakes, she was a lovely lady and had even put on the electric blanket for gramp.. We unpacked and then decided to see the chapel while it was quiet.to be continued....
