"The secret is to keep busy and keep using your hands", said Olive, who in her spare time knits penguin suits to help sick little penguins off the southern coast of Australia.

I really enjoyed meeting Mrs Unsworth and hearing how Wythenshawe's changed during her time here. From all of us here at Parkway Green we wish her all the very best."
