A day in the life of a farmer's wife on the Cumbrian fells

If there is a typical day for Helen this pretty much encompasses it, finding the balance between being the farmer and the wife.

This is one of the messages Helen wants to get across in her book The Farmer's Wife: My Life In Days - a mix of memoir, recipes and manifesto for farming, food and family.

"Women have always worked on farms and done a variety of jobs," she said.

"I really just want to champion people doing the caring, the cooking, whoever it is in the household."
