My first pair arrived in Iqaluit NWT (now Nunavut) by mail as a congratulations (to myself) for being accepted in Ontario’s relatively new midwifery education program in 1995.

I am now on my 4th pair and these boots have covered a lot of ground. They have been to hundreds of births as well as travelled far and wide. I have worn them thru dry arctic winters at -40 degree as well as wet Ontario ones. They served me incredibly well trekking the 21 day hike around the circular Annapurna mountain range, which included, of course, the highest walkable mountain pass in the world – Throng La.

Last year my husband and I took our kids back to Nepal for their first trip to see their Nepali grandparents.. . It took seven hours to get to the family village with 2 kids under 7 and my blundstone Boots did it again.

Now I want to go to their home country and bring back little ones for the kids……. Blundstone dreamin
