In need of restoration

I drove into the Perpignan this morning to collect a flat pack desk. I also went into the specialist shop, the Five Continents, to buy some mango chutney and pickle which is difficult to get in France. I was back in time for the ringing practice which was an hour early at my request so that no one would miss the England versus Wales rugby. I had not taken any photographs so I took a shot off this harmonium in the church. When the church was built by the English community in 1914, the harmonium was a gift from Princess Beatrice, Queen Victoria youngest daughter. It needs restoring which would be a costly job. We have offered it to Osborne house on the Isle of Wight, Queen Victoria’s holiday residence, but they were not interested.
