A BOLTON playgroup staff upset by vandal attacks are smiling here -- thanks to the BEN Bouquet of the Week.

Mrs Ruth Lewis wrote in nominating Bernadette Ward and her staff at St Aidan's playgroup in Crompton Way.

"They have suffered from break-ins but they won't give in as they are determined to carry on for the sake of the children.

"They do a great job. My son went to St Aidan's, which he really enjoyed, and it also helped him prepare for nursery.

"I know your bouquet would cheer them up and let them know we are all behind them."

Bernadette was not only surprised and grateful for this kind gesture, but paid tribute to Mrs Lewis's own support for the group.

They all loved the hand-tied bouquet, which arrived courtesy of Caroline Ward's flower and gift delivery (tel. freephone 0800-289-335).

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