What a pretty name penninah.  I thought it was her occupation at first.

Flower is a sort of pet name in Cheshire where I come from. Shopkeepers used to say... 'Yes flower what can I get you'.  It sounds much nicer than over here in Lincolnshire where they say...'yes me duck what can I get you'.  I'd rather be a flower than a duck any day of the week.  Grin
