"THANK you for my sight" -- that was the message from a Breightmet woman to the hospital staff who cared for her.

And Annie Shaw has been able to say it with flowers, thanks to the Bolton Evening News' Bouquet of the Week.

Mrs Shaw wrote in nominating the staff at the Eye Unit at the Royal Bolton Hospital for our bouquet.

"I was in the Eye Unit because I had to have a cataract taken off my right eye, and I don't think I could have been better treated if I had been royalty," said Mrs Shaw.

"The staff could not do enough for me. I was having trouble with my blood pressure and I thought I might have to go home.

"But the nurses kept on trying and I had to go to bed for a while until it came down. Then I could have my eye done. They are real treasures, every one of them."

And they were delighted to receive the bouquet, courtesy of Caroline Ward's flower and gift delivery service (0800-289-335).
