The Wheatleys are downsizing now their children are older but they plan to stay in Thorner, which sits between Wetherby and Leeds.

“It’s a village with real heart and community spirit. I tried moving away once but I only lasted three months before I moved back. It’s a fantastic place to live,” says Mr Wheatley
