Feature: My Favourite Leeds Tweeters

As many of you may have read in my recent guest post summing up the past three years I’ve spent in Leeds on the Made in Leeds TV blog, my time with the city has finally come to an end. As today is a Friday, I’ve decided to do an extended #FF (#FollowFriday) on here as a shout out to some of my favourite Leeds tweeters. Please do let me know if I’ve left out anyone!
