ENGLISH:
Helen is a grey squirrel. She lives near a quiet suburban house in the United States. Inside that house lives Oliver, a gentle Labrador. He often sits by the large front window, watching the world go by. One day, Helen comes to the window and looks inside. Oliver does not react much, but she keeps coming back. At first, Oliver seems uninterested. But slowly, he begins to wait for her at the window. After several visits, the family notices her. They name her Helen. Sometimes, Helen even brings her babies to the window. She never goes inside, and they never touch, but they watch each other through the glass. The family starts filming their visits. Over five years, the bond between Helen and Oliver becomes something special. After the story spreads online, millions of people see the videos and feel joy from their gentle friendship. Helen and Oliver never make sounds to each other or play together. But their quiet, daily meetings show that even across barriers, friendship can grow.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
