llywelaRight in the heart of Cardiff city centre there is a graveyard. It is very small, attached to a rather beautiful old church, and for years was just this dark, overgrown place where no one ever went or even noticed. But as part of the ongoing redevelopment of the city, this tiny little cemetery underwent a makeover that transformed it into a beautiful, open space. There are now footpaths running through it, a well-trodden shortcut for busy shoppers, and benches for the weary to rest amid the gravestones...or they can even sit on the gravestones, if all the benches are full, which they usually are. It really tickles me. How many busy shopping centres can boast a graveyard transformed into a park, right at their heart? Yesterday I walked past and saw that a pair of ducks had taken up residence in there - on a flat headstone that had a large puddle of water on it, after all the heavy rainfall of the week. That was brilliant.
Taken with the camera phone, so it's a bit blurry, but here you can clearly see the much-used footpaths and benches with a row of gravestones right behind them.
A different view.

And now for something completely different. Here's a random pic of a soggy moggy drying off after being caught out in one of the torrential downpours we had last week.
And this is the view from the window of Pitman Training Centre, where I go for the IT course I'm taking at the moment, overlooking the castle. Not bad, huh?
