💙📚 In 1588, after the Spanish Armada was scattered, the captured ship Nuestra Señora del Rosario was brought into Torbay. Nearly 400 Spanish prisoners were held in what’s now the Spanish Barn at Torre Abbey .

That's the end of my mooch around #TorreAbbey
Met some nice trees, doors and a tame bollard. Don't think I did to bad with the phone. Might take a camera next time though. And a tripod. Should do this more often.
There was no colour before Leonardo Di Caprio invented it during the Renaissance in Italy. This is how the trees looked at #TorreAbbey back then
Some plants survive, and thrive, on a brick wall.
Others that I spend hard cash on at garden centres die despite much love, care, and attention. Nature is a fickle f***er.
#TorreAbbey
Medieval bollards still have to be restrained due to their aggressive nature and strong desire to escape back to Spain
#TorreAbbey
They knew how to make doors interesting 500 years ago. I'd buy more doors if they were like this.

The fabulous Tom Adams exhibition at Torre Abbey has proved so popular, it is being extended until 21 December.
Do check it out, it's marvellous!
