Wednesday, January 24, 2007: Old Man Gubb to marry 'most gorgeous girl in the whole world'
'Obviously I'm delighted...she's the girl of my dreams,' smiled the beardy Ben Gubb while stroking the wisps on his chin and grinning. 'Every day I wake up and see her angelic face and a million fire works explode in my heart...sometimes I reckon she's the most gorgeous girl in the whole world!' These were the words of Old Man Gubb, chum of FWE and long time university pal of Jamie, when quizzed over his decision to ask Vic to marry him.
'Yeah, he's just such a spunk and has a whopping big heart to boot...I thought I'd better say yes before he asked someone else, hahaha,' laughed the Brisbane-born girl. Congratulations to the wonderful couple, may they live long and prosper...all hail the Gubbs.
Thursday, January 11, 2007: the boys are back in town
I am typing this from an office somewhere in Melbourne.
News In Brief:
Sarsen pulled into Hobart on Thursday the 3rd of January. We were able to get straight onto a bus, which took us to Devonport -on the north Tasmanian coast- where we boarded the trans-Bass-Straight Ferry 'The Spirit of Tasmania' and travelled over-night to Melbourne. And so, that morning, we cycled into the still of the dawn, back onto the streets we've come to know so well.
Currently we are back on our beloved bench, Brunswick Street, selling a new publication - "Free Wheels East On Ice". It summarises our Antarctica adventure. This limited edition latest- from 'FWE publications'- is only available on the streets.
When we got 'back to the world' we discovered that every major paper in Australia had published a story on our Antarctic achievement with a photo, which should be uploaded onto freewheelseast.co.uk soon, along with more marvellous images of FWE On Ice.
