Turns out he lives in Farsley, loves the idea of a community farm and fancies coming down for a gander. Keep spreading the news! @FirstWestYorks 😊

After living here for nearly 30 yrs, I had no idea there was an island behind @Morrisons Kirkstall. Did you?

This is the most exciting discovery I have made since finding myself lost in the Lion,the Witch and The Wardrobe
