A "VERY special lady" receives our Bouquet of the Week today from a group of women for whom she is very much the "head girl"!

Mrs N Bashall from Horwich wrote nominating hairdresser MRS KATHLEEN ROSTRON, from Sutton Road, Deane on behalf of "her Thursday morning ladies."

"Over the last two years Kathleen has nursed her mother through a long illness. She sadly died in January.

"Following that she found out her husband needed urgent surgery from which, with her support, he has made a wonderful recovery.

"During all this she has planned a lovely wedding for her daughter. She has never let any of her clients down, is always cheerful, listening to their problems, offering help and advice where she can.

"And last, but by no means least, she always sends us home with immaculate hair-dos.

"We would like her to have a bouquet to thank her as we think she is a very special lady."

And Kathleen certainly appreciated her nomination when she received a lovely hand-tied bouquet. This came courtesy of Caroline Ward's flower and gift delivery service (tel. freephone 0800-289-335).

If YOU know a special person who deserves our weekly bouquet, write to us with their details (including their daytime telephone number) to: BOUQUET OF THE WEEK, Angela Kelly, Features Dept, Bolton Evening News, Churchgate, Bolton BL1 1DE.
