Nuncio led astray finds seventh heaven (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cloud nine

'seventh heaven' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'nuncio led astray' is the wordplay.
'astray' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nuncio'+'led'='nuncioled'
'nuncioled' with letters rearranged gives 'CLOUD-NINE'.

'finds' is the link.

(Other definitions for cloud nine that I've seen before include "On this, one is extremely happy" , "Situation of great elation" , "If you're on this, you're extremely happy" , "On which one is blissfully happy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
