We are pleased to announce the birth of Sylvie Emma Renee Rogers born 14th December 2024 to proud parents Janice Green and Danny Rogers.

Janice left Tristan to live permanently in the UK where she met her partner Danny Rogers.  Danny coincidentally has an island surname, however is unrelated.

 

The arrival of Sylvie named after her late great grandmother Sylvia Repetto was extra special as Janice's mum Reneee Green and brother Dylan Green are currently in the UK.
