2GOOD friends are hard to find so they are worth a bit of TLC.

And Mrs Barbara Walsh knows that her best friend, Mrs Connie Williamson from Halliwell, certainly deserves it.

As she explains in her nomination for the BEN Bouquet of the Week: "Connie is always there for you, even though she is looking after her four grandchildren full-time.

"She also has her auntie living with her, who is 94. She has two cats and two dogs as well. She is always cheerful and does all this single-handed.

"I know she would love a bouquet very much and it would cheer her up."

It certainly did, Mrs Walsh -- Mrs Williamson loved the bouquet, which arrived courtesy of Caroline Ward's flower and gift delivery service (freephone 0800-289-335).

If YOU know a special someone who deserves our weekly flowers, write and tell us about them (including their daytime telephone number) to: BOUQUET OF THE WEEK, Angela Kelly, Features Dept, Bolton Evening News, Churchgate, Bolton BL1 1DE.
