Long Distance Relationships:1


Long distance relationships, whether your definition is 40 minutes down the road to half way around the world quite a lot of people have had one.


You could argue that long distance relationships have increased over the years with the growth of technology and new innovative ways to keep in touch compared to the last century. Though within the last World War of which shook the planet where a large percentage of men were sent overseas away from their loved ones creating a long distance relationship, and for many the end of their relationships.

Where telegraph and letter were used back then, they have since been outdated with the invention of email on the computer and mobile phones. Even newer inventions to being Skype and other online terminals for communication. Not to say that the letter being outdated means no one uses it, far from it many people share cards and letters with friends and loved ones on occasions such as birthdays or when they wish to keep communication special when they are very far away; but with a downside of the letter still having a chance of being lost many people prefer other alternatives with the latest technology at their disposal.

There are many ways to keep in contact many being linked by the wifi, available to such a large majority of people that it is seen as common place a large percentage of everyday tasks revolving around it for many. So to say that WiFi is common place, it's still not everywhere; 3G and 4G are common replacements, sold on their own or placed in packages for phone deals and contracts. So many people can use this to help aid in long-distance communication within everyday life and relationships.

Sometimes times can get hard and the people we love are too far away and only a voice on the other end of the line, a phone call in the evening before going to sleep. A piece of familiarity that can help make you feel better. And sometimes a hug is all you want because it's one of the best types of medicine.

I'm currently in a long distance relationship myself; we have access to mobile phones and Skype but even then it can still get quite hard. We call when we can and sometimes one or both of us is too tired to talk. His family live in my area, but to say things are tough is an understatement; his parents are the loveliest people you could ever meet, though as you can guess there is sometimes other close members of the family. I enjoy writing letters, though occasionally they never get to him.

Saying he is one of the most important people in my life is a little like an understatement, he is my partner and teammate and even though it's long distance; it won't be forever.

Why Do We Have To Have A Food Bank?

Article by Jane Stone Food; is it something we take for granted, something we expect to have because of it being vital to living? I'm sure a lot of people remember the 'saying waste not want not' or 'children in poor countries would love to have a small portion of what you have, many of them don't even get that much'.                                                                    Picture from Moray FoodBank Facebook Page But we are missing what should be a problem being dealt with; that people from our country, one of the richest in the world has people homeless and hungry on our streets, some living in homes with no spare income for food. The food banks were introduced to help solve this problem; but surely the Food Bank should be a short term fix, helping people temporarily until they are able to supp...

Relocation!

Helston, a town of many hills that knacker the knees and leave you getting fitter as you walk up the high street. The weather, a balmy 20+ degrees with the occasional torrential rain intermittently breaking up your day. The streets, for those that know Skyrim, have elegant water features that remind the young eye of Whiterun where the water is as crystal clear as it is here. The sound is as hypnotic as the stars, the sound provoking one of two normal reactions, one being relaxation and the other... The Echo Observer has moved further a field, now down in Cornwall. Solely run by one, yours truly  (me) I will be covering as much as possible, from comparing eateries in this town or the next one over to covering local events. Some posts will be on food, (with me drawing on my years of eating and my appreciation of good food) to the people here and what they do to keep this community in such high and friendly spirits.

Wetherspoons; Consistency is More Then an Issue.

*                                          Pictures were taken 5 minutes into each meal From this  1 Week ago The chips cut and beautifully fluffy with a crisp outer shell. The peas, tasted like peas; sweet and green. The Scampi was crisp on the outside and lovely and moist on the inside, the taste on point with what you would expect. Having said that, the dessert was quite bad. The same desert, Chocolate Sundae was burnt and was inedible. To This  Today  Peas in picture 2 were not eaten (swallowed) and were pushed to the side with the scampi. There is a major difference in size of portions which might be equated to different chefs, or by the amount of people dining at this 'highly' recommended restaurant. Not sure where the high standards went but they are far, far away from the meals (yes plural) that were served . From the throw in the o...
