Purple boots aren’t quite as shiny as they once were, but they are still just as comfy	Be careful with the trees	Steve and Terri Bracks with Wes and Mark

Scott helps the Premier lace his purple boots	Media entourage includes Channel 7, Channel 9 and the Age	Wes explaining the garden

Yep, that tree has to go in this hole	Put some effort in team	Only 5 more to go

Can’t pass up the chance to have a team photo	Wes has managed to lure Martyn out from behind the camera	Jack seems to be enjoying dinner

	Percy has his first ride in a London cab

Question Time

Scott

1. Are you gay? If not, why not?
