Honeywood Museum: Charshalton Ponds & Billiard Room! (21.2.2026)

22/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

We visited the Honeywood Museum in nearby Carshalton Ponds – as the Staff and Management added a Chinese New Year display to the usual mixture of local history artefacts. We have visited in the past – but I do not recall the impressively “large” Billiard Room which seems to have been converted to a “Snooker Room”. Me and Gee sat and drank a cup of coffee outside the Honeywood Museum – watching the numerous types of birds traverse the surface of the water. I think we entered the Museum probably in the wrong direction – and immediately emerged in the Billiard Room – which seemed to corelate seamlessly with Pond itself. During Victorian times, the well to do, those who owned local business and large country-homes – often could often afford all the lateest scientific devices. The air around the Ponds was fresh and yet mild – a thoroughly invigorating experience!

Daoism Email: Birds Sing in China – Birds Sing in Greece! (14.7.2025)

We do not charge money when sharing knowledge – and as long as we can afford the hosting fees – this website will remain open and free to use for everyone! Even if a time comes when this is no longer possible – I hope the articles will have been copied and passed on as is for the general benefit of humanity. Remember, breathing costs nothing, and being aware of breathing costs nothing – so there is no profit margin! Away with all the charlatans of the world and those who try to sell you your own bodily processes! A cultivated wisdom sees through this kind of inherent ignorance which is a sign of the times.

British Scarecrows - Linked to Pagan Gods!

UK: Are Scarecrows Linked to Pagan Fertility Gods? (22.6.2025)

22/06/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This may be due to the Celtic traditions developing within heavily forested areas prior to the arrival of the Romans – who cleared trees to build their straight roads. Romans also cleared forested areas to create farming fields – so open fields were “foreign” to the British Celts. The Druids are reported as detesting the Roman habit of destroying the sacred woods (the Druids and their Celtic Army were finally beaten by the Romans at the Battle of Anglesey circa 60 CE – the last time “magic” was known to have been used on a British battlefield). During these times, crops were planted within the safety of the forested-canopy – where the Gods of Fertility operated more or less unaffected by the wild birds. Wide, open fields were not yet accepted as “British”. It might have even been the case that Celtic farmers came to some arrangement with the wild birds – setting aside some food for them so that everyone got on without conflict. There was 800-years between the Romans (5th century CE) leaving and the plague creating the conditions that led to the development of the modern British Scarecrow (14th century CE).

Fujian Scientists Make Evolutionary Discovery!

China: Jurassic Fossil Discovery Sheds New light on Origin of Birds! (13.2.2025)

13/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

While it is well established that birds evolved from dinosaurs, the timing of this transition has long been debated. Some studies suggest that birds’ earliest diversification occurred during the Jurassic Period, though the fossil record has been sparse and fragmentary. Archaeopteryx, often considered the earliest known and arguably the only Jurassic bird, has long been the focus of this debate.

Although Archaeopteryx possessed feathered wings, it closely resembled non-avian dinosaurs, particularly due to its long, reptilian tail, which is in stark contrast to the short tails seen in modern birds. Recent research has even questioned whether Archaeopteryx should be classified as a bird, suggesting instead that it may be more closely related to the deinonychosaurs, a group of theropod dinosaurs.

Russia: President Putin Orders Zoo Animals Gifted to North Korea! (20.11.2024)

20/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Modern Russia is once again an ally of the DPRK! If the rumours are true, over 10,000 DPRK troops are in West Russia waiting to assist Russia with a massive offensive against Neo-Nazi Ukraine! By order of Russian President Vladimir Putin, more than 70 exotic animals were delivered from the Moscow Zoo to the capital of North Korea on board an airplane.

Greemway Gardens: Encountering the “Robin”! (29.12.2023)

29/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Indeed, within the behaviour of these birds is the history of their interaction with humans and the surrounding the environment. Interestingly, there are photographs on display in the house that record the physical presence of family cats – but I suspect that as the house is so big and the grounds so extensive – these cats probably never ventured very far out of the house and into the gardens. Of course, Gee managed to find a cluster of bamboo shrubs probably planted by Agatha Christie – or at least one of her servants.
