New Southgate Cemetery & London

The final resting place of The Guardian of the Bahai Faith lies in New Southgate Cemetery. 20 mins walk from Arnos Grove tube station. The shrine is situated on the edge of the cemetery in a restful spot where it is easy to pray and to meditate with only the sound of the birds for company.

The tube ride took me back several-mumble years - the carriages have not changed - London Transport appear to have cleaned them, but not too often. However the service was fast and easy.

My day-return from Portsmouth (only £13.50) necessitates me catching an evening train after 7pm. I won't be coming back to London on this trip - apart from the wonderful people at the Apple store in Regent street, I find little to recommend it. Meanwhile I am waiting for one of the tech gurus to look at my non-functioning iPhone and making use of the banks of computers freely available for people to use.
