OUR hard-pressed nurses get a floral "thank you" this week -- courtesy of the BEN Bouquet of the Week and a grateful patient.

Mrs Audrey Rushworth from Heaton wrote nominating Chris Noone and Janice Rothwell who are "the two dedicated chemotherapy nurses who work on the Day Unit on G Block at the Royal Bolton Hospital.

"They are kind and never miserable, and treat everyone with respect. Everything is explained to the patient and relatives, calmly, and every question is answered in plain English.

"You are also given tea and biscuits, which comes out of their own tea fund. The way they have been with my husband Charles, who is on chemotherapy, we think they deserve a bouquet."

So do we, Mrs Rushworth. And Chris and Janice both loved the hand-tied bouquet from Caroline Ward's flower and gift delivery service (freephone 0800-289-335).

If YOU know a special someone who deserves our weekly flowers, e-mail us about them (including their daytime telephone number) to: akelly@lancashire.newsquest.co.uk
