Wellie 2012 Olympic Hungary "Snow Clearing Team" Entry

My favorite shovel, snow boots, scarf and hat, see next pic for close up of the aerodynamic design of my touque (Canadian for "keep those ears warm eh!)

That blue item is the shovel?
I wouldn't have guessed ~
Looks more like some kind of plastic toboggan.
I hope your neighbours were watching while you took this photo. : )

Boots and scarf are great.
Lawns look less green than those in England.
It will be a joint decision on this one.
Let's wait and see what Chrispook says.
She's been on her travels ~ her world-wide experience is what's needed.

Better known as the "Scoop" Shovel it does great work moving snow ...has been used for giving small children a ride if you can imagine it as a rickshaw for the snow. The neighbors had a good laugh when they saw me and I dont think quite believed my explanation ...thinking Ive gone completely bonkers Im sure :D
England has the greenest green I have ever seen, lucky you...we have just been coming out of a drought which lasted around 8 years...sadly a lot of the lakes have lower water levels than anyone remembers seeing in the last 50 years..

I've never seen a snow shovel like that. Obviously the American version. We have the basic standard version here. I thyink we need to stick to a basic model otherwise all those from the other side of the pond will have an unfair advantage. Why is it that everything from The Sates comes in a bigger and better version!!!!!!!!!
Having said all that it's rather swish and I'm jealous.

Jealous of the snow shovel ?
That super-size scoop decides it.

Chrispook ~
Despite the bigger storms and super-size shovels,
I reckon you could give this pic. a 'like' LOL

OK I'm feeling generous and have awarded a like, since I'm now relaxing at home having arrived back from our trip to Romania. Not for long though, off to Holland on Thursday. The good news is I shall probably still be able to get on line.

Sorry, couldn't bring myself to click on 'like', brings back too many memories of last winter and dread of what's to come!

I guess all your gnomes will be getting kitted out ready for a chilly winter.
~ Woolly hats and wellies ? :o)

Don't tempt me!
The gnomes usually live in the basement during the winter, too cold for them outside.
