Tristan

St Joseph's Catholic Church, Tristan da Cunha

For bloggers and blog visitors who will be travelling to Tristan da Cunha in time for The Laughing Horse Blogging Awards evening, I have been doing some further research. With special permission granted, the ceremony will now be held in St Joseph's Catholic Church.

There are only 250 permanent residents on the island and all are of European descent. They tend to lead simple, communal lives in which fishing, vegetable growing and raising cattle all figure significantly. Tristan da Cunha was never settled by humans before the European era.

There is only one settlement - located on the northern plain which has rich volcanic soils. It is called Edinburgh of the Seven Seas.

Some video footage:-


I am sure you will agree that Tristan da Cunha is very likely the most unique awards venue ever selected by the Laughing Horse team. Those of you who make the effort to get there will be forging unforgettable memories. Those who discard the opportunity will be creating bundles of lifelong regrets...

Child of God

 Thank you 

Lord 

For 

Those 

Who 

Love me

Without motive

I can’t give 

You much

All I offer 

Is myself 

Reality slaps 

Punches 

And 

I fight

Knowing 

The only

Privilege 

I possess

Is being 

A child 

Of God

You

 Lord

Give me wisdom 

To not 

Argue 

With fellow man

We haven’t learned 

To be civil 

Kind

Or human

And yet

You call

Me to

Greater

Because 

I belong 

To you
