12 Days of Christmas: Day 12. It's the official end of Christmas & we find ourselves in lockdown once more. We are closed for now, but if you do walk through our lovely grounds on your daily exercise, why not take some photos to share like these very early ones by Eliza A Cary?

As someone who was adopted into a loving family I have nothing but admiration for those who can make space for an adopted child in their family.

Well done to @BBettesworth_ for cheering everybody up. Amazingly last night’s stormy weather didn’t disturb Mary, Joseph, the 3 Wise Men & shepherds. What a lovely place I live in. #BoostTorbay #TorbayHour
