I had this wonderful card ... I opened
said envelope .... to find a Valentine!
With memorable words ...
 |

Lots of love
and big hugs
from Lenny
and all the critters ...
.... hedgehog, mousie, rocky the
racoon, groundhog, mices various, squirrel, rabbit, birds and butterflies ...
I emailed Lenny and back came: wow! that valentine card got there sooo fast. i
sent it early cause for sure i wanted it to get to you in time for valentines
day. and...guess what!!! theres a box flying cross the pond to you but you
gotta not open it up til valentines day. ok???
 |
| Showing 'orange onions' box and the expanded card ... |
So I did as I was told! that was a surprise to a few!! but look what I found in the box of orange
onions!!!
Happy Valentine Day’s heart shaped box of
choccies
M & Ms box containing 3 mini packets
Dark chocolate marshmallow heart
‘Peeps’ Marshmallow hearts
 |
| Just some of the choccy selections and the Save the Chimp bag |
Whitman sampler box of chocolates, in a
valentine’s wrapper
Raspberry Cream Buttons
Miniature peanut butter cups
Swiss chocolate Ghiradelli Squares – raspberry,
caramel, dark chocolate
Milk and Caramel Ghiradelli chocolate slab
A pencil and a wildlife notepad
Wildlife stickers
Book marks
Save the Chimps.org bag
And a Valentine puzzle ...
 |
| Hardwick looking after Rocky, Muddy Hippo peering through and the new kid on the block: Zdena |
And .... Zdena Zebra ... so called because she
is a follower of Dionysos – the God of Wine!!
Made my little heart sing – and everyone has
commented ... what a lovely thought and how wonderful of you, Lenny, to send
those over to me ...
... the card in particular pulls at our heart
strings – everyone thinks it is "fab", "absolutely fab!!!" ...(the word as Neville describes the card ... a great friend of my uncle, with whom I had lunch on Tuesday - pancake day - yummie!!)
 |
| Lenny's rays of sunshine |
Hardwick’s quite pleased to have a new playmate
– he approves of Zdena ... she brightens up their lives ... Muddy Hippo is a
bit muddy, Hardwick himself is a little bare – he knows he’s showing his age,
while Rocky is a little tiny to shine out between Hardwick and Muddy ... but he
keeps an eye on all things ...
 |
| Valentine cupid puzzle |
They quite like chocolate ... so I can see the
critters having a tuck in as well ... we’ll have a good and happy night tonight
...
I’m tempted to go out and see the film Les Mis ... but these critters might eat
much of my chocolate ...and I might have eaten too much, so may need
to rest my tum!!
To all blogging buddies ... I am not going
anywhere – but I’m just going to take a month off and not participate or blog
much – to get myself on track with all I want to do – new projects, sorting
some technology out, spring cleaning and being ready for the future.
 |
| Tuesday Tea with Mistress Snark |
Jezebel summoned me to Mistress Snark’s for tea... so I shall keep that appointment: Tuesday 12 March – I don’t think I could
get away with missing it – I’d rather like my afternoon tea healthy and not
bloodied ...
... but with Jezebel, she of the long projectile nails that can scrabble
under the ocean to draw a poor unsuspecting English girl in to her parlour, we
never know what might be floating in her punch – yugh!, or spread on those bloodied
sandwiches ... eeeks ....
 |
| Anthology launch 4th March |
Then there’s Nick’s Overcoming Adversity
anthology launch .. and I shall join in the fun for that ... scheduled for Monday
4th March – what a great fundraising idea that was ... brilliant
Nick ...
Well that’s me ... now to tuck into those
choccies with a cup of tea methinks ... Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone ...
may you have lots of love in your heart ... as young Lenny does for his family,
friends, bloggers and them critters!!
See you very soon .... back by 16th/17th
March ... all ready and raring to go for the A – Z challenge ....
... and on this note ... I am a minion ... so
some of you may see me around doing some ground work for those amazing
organisers ...
Happy Valentine's Day everyone .... and as you can see from the photos - the sun has been shining ...... bliss!!!

That was really sweet of Lenny!
I'll be watching for you at Mistress Snark's. Watch out for that punch.
Hilary, That Lenny is something else. If I recall, he loves surprising you with boxes. I think of the fun, for him too, to organize all of the goodies. You can put the writing materials and chocolate in your chimps bag. And Zedena Zebra to find a new home.
Les M. awaits you. You can stick the Peeps in your purse for the movie. They won't melt. :)
Have a productive yet restful break.
Love and peace. Manzanita
Have a wonderful break Hilary and we look forward to your return :)
What a nice gift. I know about Lenny, and he must think you are very special, Hilary.
Enjoy your time off, while you revamp! See you in mid-March.
Have a good break. Just don't make it permanent like too many seem to do. Happy Valentines!!!
That was so sweet and thoughtful! Have a nice break, recharge and we'll see you when you get back. Hopefully I'll be ready for A-Z by then as well. (:
Lenny is such a wonderful person. I always enjoy the posts where you share your conversations (and gifts) with him.
Good for you for taking a break. I will miss you and your posts, but I understand the need for time away...especially with the A - Z challenge approaching.
You will need to visit a finger fitness instructor to build finger muscles to keep up with that challenge! I don't know how you do it.
Take it easy, have warm cups of tea and lots of Lenny's treats:~)
Cheers my friend...
Lenny is the best and brightest of the bloggers I've met. I am honored to know him!
What a lovely Valentine's Day gift for you. I shall miss you while you're accomplishing all the other things you need to do.
Love,
Janie
@ Alex .. I still fail to understand how you pop up as soon as I hit the publish button - not sure if you're standing over me!! See you at Mistress Snark's ..
@ Manzanita - isn't Lenny just great .. he does love surprising me with boxes - it used to be my mother and she did love seeing what was about to come out next ...
He must have had loadsa fun putting all the goodies together .. there's so much - it's wonderful .. and I can do as you say ... and Zdena is now with Hardwick in Hilary's critter's home!!
I failed at Les Mis .. another day ... but London tomorrow - two or three exhibitions to see ... needed an early night!
@ Keith - many thanks ..
@ DG - yes a few people have said there's something special going on between you ... I'm very lucky ...
I'm looking forward to getting stuck in ...
@ Karen - many thanks .. I'm not far away!
@ Mike - nope I'll be back .. I've got way too much planned for the blog! Well Hardwick, the critters, the chocolate and I are having a quiet night ...
@ Elise - those are just the right words for Lenny "sweet and thoughtful" ... I'm looking forward to the work ahead .. before the A-Z calls ...
@ Sara - good to see you .. and we've had some good posts arising from Lenny's emails, or just sharing things across the airwaves with others ...
It's the studies I need to get my head into ... so computer on and with no or few deviations - exercise will be hoovering and dusting!!
Yes - the Challenge does stretch the arthritic fingers a little!
@ Dianne .. I think we are all honoured to know Lenny - he's one special lad ..
@ Janie - wasn't it really such a special Valentine ... brought so much fun to a few of us ...
I shall be back sooner than you know - one and all!! Cheers for now and hope you're having a really happy Valentine's Day time with loved ones ... Hilary
Have a good break! See you at the A to Z Challenge!
Wonderful. Enjoy those chocolates. :))
Make the most of your time off. I may slow down a bit here myself in the next few weeks to get some writing done. Happy Valentine's Day!
Lovely Valentine for you, Hilary. Enjoy the break and we'll look forward to your return posts!
It must have felt so warm to hear from Lenny. I got a Valentine too and wrote him back right away. He is an awesome kid. I learned a lot from him.
Happy Valentine's Day from all of us here in the US, bloggerhood. Cheers !
We will miss you, Hilary. Enjoy your break.
What a nice surprise from Lenny! Hope you enjoy your "break" although I know you will be staying busy. Thanks for lending a hand to help us out.

Oh I know the wondering refreshment of a break from blogging and writing - I wish you a good escape too

You too have a good break ... I shall be lurking as a minion!
@ Patricia - I shall be on the fringes ... but able to put in the time on new projects ... isn't Lenny just great - always blows me away with his cards and generosity ..
I shall take as much care as I can to avoid another virus - mind you I'm off to London today .. but once this year is enough - I prefer to remain healthy!! Glad you're feeling better ..
Cheers everyone - I'll be around lurking .. so may catch you somewhere .. Hilary
I completely forgot Valentine's day ! Mr. G. offered me a little cat statue. Have a nice blogging break and come back in good shape !
What a lovely Valentine's surprise!
What a wonderful post, have a great time off from blogging, see you on your return.
Yvonne.
What a nice thing for Lenny to do! Hope you had a happy day.
Everyone needs to take a break sometimes. Hope yours is a good one and that you accomplish all that you set out to do!
What a lovely present :-) Enjoy your month away from us. Don't miss us too much, right?!
What a fantastic present from Lenny! Zdena! I quite like that. She's cute and seems to fit right in.
Jezebel is eagerly anticipating your arrival...maybe too eagerly, I dare say. ;)
I LOVE your colors!
I LOVE YOU!!
Have a wonderful time working on your projects. I'm in project land too, not so much in posting land either these days.

@ Lenny - yay you got here, goodie!!
Well all that wonderful stuff deserved its own choccy post for Valentine's Day ... did you remember all those gorgeous chocs?
I think everyone is very jealous of the chocs, but more so of the fact that you sent them to me! And they loved the card ... everyone has been bowled over with that ..
Zdena the Zebra .. isn't it a good name for her ... and I love having company for Hardwick, Rocky and Muddy Hippo ... so we shall be a happy little crew here in Eastbourne ...
Now I'm going to have my head down - rather like you and schoolwork, or homework - yugh??!! I'm really looking forward to it though ..
I'll be around .. just not actively blogging for 4-5 weeks ...
But I love interacting with you .. so I'll be emailing you and keeping in touch ... Big Hugs to you too ..
Cheers everyone - I saw two interesting exhibitions in London ... but more on those in the Summer ... thanks for your thoughts and I'm so pleased you've all loved reading about Lenny's present to me - great to have your comments and I know Lenny will appreciate everyone's support ...Hilary
You've got to love Lenny! He is an amazing kid!
We all need such a wonderful "Lenny" in our lives! Yours is awesome! Dear friend, Jen and I wish you a great vacation. Whatever you do, enjoy! I owe you a letter. It will be forthcoming soon. BTW, we have a wonderful new aide - finally. It feels like heaven! And your warm days sound like heaven too. We're not there yet, but just around the corner is....
Until later, ((( ))) from the both of us....
Hi Hilary,
Lenny is the dude! And I know all of us who have the great pleasure in knowing this incredible young chap, know that he is the very ethos of a sharing, caring blogging community that goes beyond the blogging world and into the hearts and minds of us all.
I'm delighted you received a Valentine's Day card from Lenny. A great kid and a good friend of Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar :)
Have a fulfilling and yet relaxed time during your blogging break. And we shall check out your summons. As in going to Mistress Snark's.
I would also like to let you know how grateful I am to you for your supportive comments and caring emails. They mean a great deal and I most grateful.
In peace and have a lovely weekend.
Gary
Lenny is awesome. :)
I hope you have a great blogging break!
Lucky you with your lovely box of goodies. I got a lovely bouquet and a special dinner (which wasn't as good as we hoped).
JO ON FOOD, MY TRAVELS AND A SCENT OF CHOCOLATE
How wonderful! You were definitely touched by Cupids arrow this Valentine lol
@ Sharon - I do love him .. and he is such a brilliant young man now I think!!
@ Ann - how lovely to hear from you and isn't Lenny so heart-warming. I'm heads down into studying .. so just not blogging. So pleased the new aide is being so much more helpful and that you can feel some relief and 'feels like heaven'!! Enjoy the change ... big hugs back ..
@ Gary - good title: Lenny is the dude!! Your words ring so true .. Lenny does go into our hearts and minds of us all ..
The card was brilliant as are the chocolates! But Lenny so loves critters - he couldn't resist Penny - the modest internet star ...
I shall be around .. just not putting up blog posts .. and yes Mistress Snark's summons is all set.
It's a pleasure - we all need thoughts and support at challenging times in our lives and I'm just pleased my small contribution helps ..
You too relax this somewhat warmer weekend .. now those ordeals are over ...
@ GE .. totally agree with you re Lenny ..
@ Jo .. it was a lovely surprise - and so pleased for you for your bouquet .. sorry about the dinner - but still nice to get out.
@ A Lady's Life .. Cupid certainly struck deep as far as Lenny is concerned!
Thanks to you all - Lenny as you all realise is one very exceptional young man .. Happy Weekends .. Hilary
That was lovely of Lenny to send you all that chocolate. I'll miss you, but understand the need for a break.
What a superb Valentine's package! Enjoy your break and I hope it's productive.
Hilary, I agree with Gary, Lenny is the dude! What a kind and thoughtful gesture. But, you know, he's right, you deserve such kindness.
What nice gifts. Happy Belated Valentine's Day! ♥ Have a nice break but come back.
Can you mail me those delicious chocolates???
@ Lynn, Nick, Joylene, Sandie and Tammy ... wasn't it a wonderful gift and Joylene, yes Lenny "is the dude" ...
Tammy I'd love to send you over some of the chocolates - or you could come here to enjoy some of them ..
Cheers everyone and have a lovely rest of the weekend ... Hilary
Awe that's so sweet of Lenny!
Enjoy your time away, Hilary. We'll see you when you're back. :-)
That was sweet of Lenny! It sounds like you had a great Valentine's Day!
What a wonderful gift! Yay, Lenny!
Take care and enjoy your time off, Hilary. I'm a minion too so I will be enjoying the A-Z with you and the rest of the minions. :)
what a sweet friend Lenny is! I've been wanting to watch Les Miz as well, but just haven't found the time!

Have a lovely and productive time away, Hillary; we all need to take an occasional break. all the better to come back refreshed.
Lenny is such a sweet boy, he is a bright spark to lighten all our days and can teach the grumps (ahem..me) a thing or two about happiness.
What a sweet gift!
Have a good time off and I hope you are productive!
@ Misha - it gave me a huge of amount of pleasure - such fun! Thanks .. I'll be back before long ..
@ Sherry - dear Lenny - made my day and that big card sits there looking down!
@ Julie - Yay Lenny is so true ... and the A - Z ahead .. so pleased they've managed to get the extra helpers in - us minions ... must be lots of work ..
@ Nutschell - I haven't got to Les Mis yet .. but I will do .. must do! Cry my eyes out I gather! Lenny will cheer me up ...
@ Friko - it's working well so far - getting lots done ..
Lenny certainly sets examples for us all doesn't he ... and I couldn't be grumpy in his company for one second!! He does make wonderful comments and has many wise words ...
@ Holly - many thanks and will do .. "sweet" gift - the understatement!! Delicious though ...
Cheers everyone - very frosty outside, but the sun is up (no fog here) and I love the golden very early spring mornings ..Hilary
awwww! sweetness! and yay for your sunny days!
without the rainy ones, the sun would not be half as much cherished.
and looking forward to your tea interview, things get quite interesting over there!
That was so sweet of Lenny.
You'll have fun with Laura and Mistress Snark.
What a wonderful surprise! Lenny is a sweetheart. :)
Will miss you, but wish you a happy and restful break. Take care of yourself, okay?
Blessings,
Karen
What a nice treat to receive, Hilary. I wonder if there are any chocolates left now :) If it were me, they'd all be gone by now.
Enjoy your break...from blogging, that is. It sounds like you will still have much to occupy yourself with. Cheers to you.
WOW, what a load of goodies!! Several of my favorites were in there, should last you a good long while. What a sweet and thoughtful friend, love seeing such kindness shown to someone so deserving. :) Enjoy your blog break!
@ Tara - sun has gone again!! Cold and frosty ... but Spring is round the corner ..
Yes Mistress Snark's summons is a little daunting ..
@ Diane - wasn't I lucky and I'm not sure about the 'fun' with Mistress Snark .. we'll see ...
@ Karen - it was a great surprise - the card was one thing, the parcel quite another ...
I'm fine just getting a lot done with the freedom of time-space .. and I'm feeling mentally easier .. thanks for the thought ..
@ Davina - wasn't it a lovely Valentine's day present .. well I shared a lot of it with the Nursing Centre and some other friends with children .. so not much left!!
I'm around - but getting on with things.. the object of the exercise .. good to see you.
@ Scarlett - it was a "WOW" .. and some delicious goodies - as I mentioned to Davina .. had to share them out!! ... everyone enjoyed them ...
Lenny obviously enjoyed the wrapping up and squeezing everything into the box - so the goodies kept on coming ... I felt loved by his thought and generosity ..
Cheers everyone and thanks for coming by ... Hilary
Lenny has excellent taste in friends and in chocolates! That was such a wonderful surprise! Congrats on being a minion, and have a nice break Hilary!

Sounds like you had a wonderful Valentine's Day.
Lenny is a pretty cool kid. It's nice to see that you've been so inspiring to him. And I know it's a two way street.
Cheers!
@ Nutschell .. thanks so much .. I saw you had Patricia at your desk yesterday ...
@ Chase - it was made very special by Lenny's thoughtful idea ... and exactly it is a two way street - he's amazing ..
Cheers to you both .. Hilary
How wonderful-so sweet of Lenny! :D
I hope you enjoy your time away~
I know you will be back, soon!
Hi Ella .. thanks so much - Lenny is so thoughtful .. and, yes, I'll be back, see you soon. Cheers Hilary
Did you save any of the chocolates for me? What a nice surprise.
I hope you are enjoying your month off and getting absolutely everything done you were hoping to do.
Nice, Hilary. What a treasure to have so many surprises!

Hey Christine!! .. you were way too late for the chocolate feast - they don't last that long around here!!
I'm slowly getting on with things - big push tomorrow ... thanks for the thought ..
Hi Monti .. it was a wonderful box of goodies ...
Cheers to you both .. Hilary
What a wonderful gift from a great little guy! Yum! And you take care and enjoy some time off.
Hi Denise .. you are so right .. Lenny is just so inspiring .. and I'm busy busy! But at least I'm not blogging protem ..
Cheers to you - wonderful posts recently ... so good to be able to meet fellow bloggers - Hilary
Hi! Just checking in. Thanks for the warm wishes last Friday.
What a lovely post. Lenny is soooo sweet. Wish I could do the A-Z Challenge this year.
@ Ciara .. many congratulations on the book release .. I'm still around .. touching sides just!
@ Kittie - isn't Lenny a star - I'm so lucky to be soooo connected with him ..
Just sometimes decisions have to be made don't they .. the fact the posts are very short makes it slightly easier - except I've committed to be a Tina minion ... that makes it harder ...
Hopefully Kittie you'll pop on in to see us ...
Cheers to you two .. Hilary
How sweet of Lenny! Everything goes better with chocolate and caring thoughts.
I hope you're enjoying your respite. I'm probably going to take the month of April off this year, instead of playing in the A-Z.
Take care.
Hi Susan .. wasn't it wonderful and I have another tale to tell about Lenny ... but as you say everything runs more smoothly with creamy, dark melting chocolate! But caring thoughts make the day ....
Thanks - I'm enjoying the break and getting on with things .. you enjoy April ... I find the A - Z rather therapeutic as far as posting is concerned ... getting around and commenting is an interesting test!!
Cheers to you - Hilary

Hey Hil,
You're getting an award from me on Friday, and I was searching for a post that personified you and came across this one I'd missed. I met Lenny near his birthday, and we've emailed a couple of times. Sounds like you're his definite favorite though! Such treats!

Cheers for now - I'm back! Hilary
So nice to have such a blogging pal as Lenny! What a sweet thoughtful guy. And I love Zdena!! She is too too cute and bright. How can you not feel good when you look at her. I have pigs. I love cute pigs and have a few sitting around my office to make me smile...
Hi Lisa .. just pulled this out of spam - thank you for commenting and meeting Lenny - he's one special lad.
My favourite are warthogs with their little radio antenna tails! So I have those ... and I have other wild animals in pictures that hang on the walls ..
Thanks so much for coming here .. lovely to hear your love of pigs - they do creep into our hearts don't they somehow - Zdena is part of my critter family now!
Cheers Hilary
