Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
 
Meet Walter. This guy was found staggering around in our garden and one of our cats showed interest which is how we spotted him. He is very tiny and has not even got his eyes open yet. Joan managed to feed him some milk on the end of her finger and then we popped him back in a pile of leaves under the hedge. Let's hope his mother finds him again.
Hedgehogs here on Cyprus are very small in comparison to the big ones we are used to in UK, but this one was clearly very tiny indeed. the internet told us that we should feed goats milk every two hours, Richard designated Joan for that duty but
she declined, so he definitely needs his mum.
A black wreath was laid at the gates of the British High Commission as part of a public show of feeling about the Orams case and of course the whole situation here in TRNC. The petition which has been going the rounds was also presented with 10,000 signatures on it, to a Mr David Reed, the High Commission representative. Several hundred people then marched to the Saray Hotel and presented copies of the petition to UN and EU officials there. Finally a show of anger here to both the EU and the UN about their failing to recognise the human rights of people here in TRNC. This march and everything associated with it is being organised by a lawyer here and is I hope the start of a protest at the British Government in particular, who have a special responsibility to ensure political equality and to stop the Greeks from claiming that they alone represent Cyprus.
The two presidents are at loggerheads again according to the press. This time it is because of Mr Christofias's attitude to Turkey wanting to join the EU. At the same time it would appear that Hilary Clinton has suggested US backing to Turkey wanting to join the union. Don't you just love politicians? What chance a solution to this divided island!
