For Helen

I am a fan of The Archers -- that "everyday story of countryfolk" on Radio 4.
But it has been hard listening at times over the last couple of years whilst Rob Titchenor exerts his abusive control on his poor wife Helen nee Archer. She finally snapped and stabbed him. Her trial for attempted murder started in tonight's episode -- and will continue all week.
So in solidarity (or #solidaritea) with Helen, for tonight's tea I served the last meal she made for Rob -- the meal that was the catalyst to the stabbing -- Tuna Pasta Bake (he had previously claimed to hate tuna, yet declared this dish "delicious"), apple pie & custard (tho I served "shop bought muck" custard, not Rob's preferred home-made version).



But on a more serious note -- please donate to Archers fan Paul Trueman's Justgiving page with all proceeds going to Refuge to help all the real-life Helens out there
