Call me shallow but I was thinking that beautiful city on the Arno in Italy.

"Those of us at a certain age know that the Magic Roundabout was an Early Learning introduction to drug culture: 'It's a marvellous feeling,' Mr Rusty told Dougal about a 'trip' on his roundabout. A staple part of common room conversation was to identify the illegal substance that each character represented. Many years and several flashbacks later, I now find it difficult to recall what they were ... ah, let me see. Florence was a more butch version of our Alice, an innocent abroad; Dylan, the hippy bunny, was hashish; Brian was amphetamines. But what substance was produced from those flowers Ermitrude kept chewing, that once made her triple her size and fly away? And Dougal? At the time I thought his supply of sugar cubes had something to do with LSD but now I'm not so sure."

You should probably credit your sources when copying & pasting aspidistra ;-)

Run by the same bunch as he Bishop I think. (although I could be wrong there)
