Sur le pont de Cardiff (Belle!)

On the bridge of Cardiff*, over the River Taff, I saw a beautiful silhouette of a young woman and I thought a beautiful thought (my eschatology may not be as perfect as her body, though): Heaven must have the shape of a beautiful woman.

And yes - I'd love to dance...



*almost, by a dozen or so metres. (The older I get the less I suffer my lies and the more I tolerate those of others).
