The process of beautifying the Jamestown Chapel has begun. Steve and Teddy started yesterday with putting up scaffolding, and then Steve started sanding the wooden boards in the front of the church. Paul, the prisoner, was allowed to come and help today, so Nick fetched him at 9.00, and he got to work also with sanding, and then scraping old paint and crumbling plaster off the walls, and poly-filling cracks and holes. It’s an enormous job which has been tackled and will take some time to finish. In the meantime, most of the pews, and all the stuff off the stage has been moved into the schoolroom where we will be having church for the next few weeks. It’s an absolute mess in the chapel, dust everywhere. Maureen has been keeping herself busy with sweeping, clearing away the intermediary mess. The painting itself will only start next week when the walls have been prepared.
