South London – SANGHA KOMMUNE (SSR)

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!

A Cuckoo Pecks the Tree Outside Our Bedroom Window!

Sutton: A Woodpecker Outside Our Bedroom Window! (6.11.2025)

Whilst getting ready for school – our youngest daughter (Kai-Lin) – heard a “knocking” outside our bedroom window in our first-floor flat (the window is more or less in-line with the treetops nearby). When Gee pulled-back the curtain (it was around 8 am) to everyone’s surprise – there was what looked like a juvenile Woodpecker attempting to develop a head of steam through its inexperienced pecking! Normally, we only ever hear these birds “out of sight” as it were, but even then, only at a considerable distance (usually in woodland or nears forests) – but I have never seen such a rural bird landing within a city context.

The Power of the Unified Brain-Cell – Visiting Central London – Testing the Waters! (4.10.2025)

05/10/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

When visiting London’s Chinatown today – we ate Yum Cha – the area was relaxed and quite sweet. Everyone was calm, relaxed, and perfectly willing to get along. There was NO underlying or latent aggression despite the odd-looking and tattered Union Jack haphazardly hanging from lamp-posts here and there. It seems to me that we have a “rent a mob” in the UK representing the far-right which descends upon a town, brutalises its non-White population, and tries to convince the White population that they are dying-out, and then head back to their Northern strongholds – where many cousins are also brothers and sisters, if you catch my drift. Remember the research into why it was that certain “White” working class populations appeared to be suffering from genetic diseases whilst living near mobile telephone masts – when no such damage was recorded from these mechanisms during extensive scientific trials. It turned-out this DNA problem had nothing to do with the radiation from mobile telephone towers – but was the consequence of indigenous White groups choosing to interbreed amongst brothers, sisters, fathers, daughters, and cousins, etc.

Sutton Train Station - Just One of Many in the Area!

Sutton: The South London Area Officially Declared the Safest Place to Live in Britain! (17.9.2025)

17/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The south London town of Sutton emerged as the nation’s safest place to live. It had an annual crime rate of 61 per 1,000 people and saw a 2.75 percent fall in crime year on year. Get Licensed also counted 230 public CCTV cameras per 1,000 people in Sutton and found a reoffending rate of 15.74 percent (the average rate across the whole of the UK is 26.5 percent). It added that ‘when there are crimes in Sutton, they tend to be robberies or thefts, with little to no reports of weapons possession’. Overall, the town earned a safety score of 8.09 out of 10.

Sutton: St Nicholas Church – Where Stone Eagle’s Dare! (13.9.2025)

Why did a Sutton Town Planner come up with the idea of a) demolishing the Old Rectory (which should have been a listed building), and b) placing the Gate-Eagles on two-plinths jutting-out of Council Flat walls? Was this an example of Free Masonry gone mad – or madder than their usual schemes? I spent about 15-minutes talking with a local historian in St Nicholas Church, Sutton, during an exhibition of the stain-glassed window and various stones. He told me that the Rectory Gates were originally in West Street – but the eagles ended up on the main road situated on the exterior walls of the new Council Houses – now named “Beech Tree Place” – effectively around the corner in a different street.

UK: Homeless Carpenter Moves “Mysteriously” Around South London! (2.8.2025)

02/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

A new study by homelessness charity Crisis found that among older low-income earners, one in five feared homelessness in their retirement, and many say they cannot afford to stop working.

“A generation once thought to be safe from our housing crisis is now increasingly being swept up in it and at real risk of homelessness,” it concludes.

Francesca Albanese, executive director of policy and social change at Crisis, told Sky News: “Most people are thinking they will go into later life with savings and security, and actually the cost of housing alongside lower wages is meaning that for lots more people that just isn’t an option.”

‘You don’t change the person you are’

Daniel has a bag system. A carrier for dirty laundry, a rucksack for clean, and a small essentials bag on top.

We pass Croydon College, where he obtained his City & Guilds carpentry qualifications, and go to the public library where Daniel charges his phone and uses computers to apply for work.
