The Minister travelled for days by train and car and boat to one of the furthest islands in the nation.
As he surveyed the bleak but inspiring landscape, he turned to a local villager and said: “You’re very remote here, aren’t you?”

Tristan da Cunha is an active volcanic island with rare wildlife and home to a little over 200 British citizens living in the world’s most isolated settlement of Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, in the South Atlantic Ocean. St Mary’s School on the island, opened in 1975, has children between the ages of three and sixteen. In 2019, the Tristan da Cunha Post Office and some of St Mary’s School pupils worked together on an art project based on island life as seen from a child’s perspective. All the children did very well, and some of the pictures were chosen to appear on this set of stamps. For more details, visit https://www.tristandc.com/po/stamps201907.php
