Woman's Hour - 06/01/2009

Presented by Jane Garvey. Author Gill Holcombe joins Jane with her no-nonsense cookery book, snappily entitled 'How to feed your whole family a healthy balanced diet with very little money...and hardly any time, even if you have a tiny kitchen, only three saucepans (one with an ill-fitting lid) and no fancy gadgets - unless you count the garlic crusher...' Rwandan genocide survivor Leah Chishugi talks to Jane about women in the Congo and the charity she has set up, 'Everything is a Benefit' The economic crisis is forcing many of those who wish to separate or divorce to stay together. Jane hears from Sarah, who still lives with her ex-husband, and discusses the issues with Paula Hall of Relate and family lawyer David Allison. Many places across the country where cider is produced have been reviving the ancient tradition of wassailing. Fiona Clampin visited the Devonshire village of Stoke Gabriel to find out more. Diana Athill has become one of the oldest writers to win a major literary prize, with her memoir 'Somewhere Towards The End'. Jane interviewed Diana in 2007 about her book, her life and some of the advantages of old age. Including drama: Writing the Century.
