Christmas 2017

The weather during Christmas has been a bit odd, ranging from beautiful calm hot weather to heavy rain with a bit of flooding. The Tristan community always makes the best of any scenario and are never to down hearted.
Food is a big part of Christmas on Tristan. The potato crop is growing well, and the first new potatoes were ready for Christmas, to go with the traditional stuffed roast mutton.

Christmas is also a time when Tristanians can enjoy watching the local summer wildlife.
