    Good question, Redhen. To sum it up briefly, (the way I understand it) the majority of the Bahraini people are Shi'a (Shi'ite) but the king and government are Sunni. The best jobs go to Sunni people. So that's what the protests are about. Victoria

    Cocky Part 6

    Cocky, the Most Dangerous Rooster in Spain Part 6 'Cocky RIP' “Mother said you were coming,” said Cauliflower at last. I wondered fleetingly if anybody knew Mother’s real name. Chatting obviously wasn’t one of Caul’s strong points, so Joe and I busied ourselves unloading the feeder...

    Cocky, the Most Dangerous Rooster in Spain Part 5 Cauliflower The No-Name Twins were quiet and well behaved in their box. Unlike Cocky who crowed his dissatisfaction with tireless regularity. Following Judith’s directions, we swung off the main Lanjarón road and down a dirt track...

    Cocky Part 3

    Cocky, the Most Dangerous Rooster in Spain Part 3 'Cocky Misbehaves' It was Ginger who first alerted us to a growing problem. When we took our cups of coffee to drink in the orchard, Ginger usually perched on the arm of the old yellow sofa and chatted to us. This irritated Cocky no end...
