The wacky temporary pot is actually the cover of a stack of empty DVD

I’ve been living in Cirencester for about 18 months now, but I have just recently moved into town. I used to live just outside town, close to the college where I work but pretty much in the middle of nowhere, a.k.a. the lovely British countryside

This morning I went for a walk in town and bought a few things. I was also looking for some very small pebbles for the mini-cacti I put on my TV at home.
I used to have a very big collection of cacti in Pisa. They grow quite well over there, even though the climatic zone is not ideal.
However, in the UK I haven’t had any indoor plants so far, just the jungle of tomatoes I grew last summer. The window of my bedroom in the new house in town is very nice and brings in a lot of light all day long. The TV is right below it, so I thought some cacti would go well there.

St Michael's Park and Holy Trinity Church

On my way back, I stopped in St. Michael’s Park. This park is just about 500 meters from my house and it has tennis courts, children games and also a sort of free BBQ pits area with benches and tables. The town centre has the very typical Cotswolds style, but just minutes away from it one can find beautiful parks and very nice Victorian cottages.

If only it stopped raining, we could try to have a BBQ in the park this weekend. Not a very promising June so far

The church in the background is Holy Trinity Church. Apparently, it was built by Lord Bathurst. Not very surprising, as he is a recurring name in the history of Cirencester. I shall carry out a little investigation
