In Melbourne suburbs there are mothers' groups called 'walking groups'. Mothers and their babies come together for a morning, and they walk about their suburb pushing their prams. As they exercise they are able to chat, and their babies see their new world go by.
But Canadian mothers have taken this idea to new extremes. In minus forty plus, they are undaunted and out they go out onto the streets to break the bonds of 'cabin fever' (which is a real problem if you are bound to your house for months on end).
When Bec (Barb and Peter's daughter) sent these pictures, we were amazed at seeing a mothers' walking group in such extreme conditions. Bec told us that their babies had to learn to be more patient in Canada, as they were dressed in triple layers with the resulting lack of movement. This social event must rate among one of the twenty wonders of the unusual things people do for enjoyment.
