Olympic leaf raking

Why the Olympics ever stopped hosting ‘leaf raking’ as an event I’ll never know. In celebration of that event Aimee, complete with Olympics regulation leaf paddles and rake goes through the paces. To accompany her carefully choreographed movements Aimee chose a leaf raking classic, Yakety Sax by Boots Randolph.

Remember, this is a long and gruelling event which, on this occasion Aimee was fortunate to complete in under 5 hours, a personal best I believe.

Enjoy and maybe you’ll become a supporter of ‘leaf raking’…

    1. I think next time Aimee should do this as an art work and make patterns as the leaves are removed

  1. Very impressive indeed, Aimee! A new Olympic sport for 2021, perhaps? And Benny Hill would approve of your musical choice – ha!

    1. Only us oldies know that music and it was old when I was young as well!

  2. Wow!!! I am so impressed! Love the music too.

    Dr. Dave, what was your big chore that day?

    1. Moving the camera!!! I was in fact working on the ground floor trying to install a supporting pillar. Lovely to hear from you, how is your house project doing? When all this covid stuff is over it would be lovely to meet up again – it’s been too long.

  3. Very impressive leaf picking up, but not as impressive as the bag you put them all into. It appears to have the qualities of a TARDIS. Where can I buy one?
