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Where telegraph and letter were used back then, they have since been outdated with the invention of email on the computer and mobile phones.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 Not to say that the letter being outdated means no one uses it, far from it many people share cards and letters with friends and loved ones on occasions such as birthdays or when they wish to keep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.

A Little Taste of Home; Hidden Gem of Helston

Helston park - One of the local swans From being sold out of their set, three course meal to having delicious drinks. This small corner cafe, next to two of the best charity shops I have ever been in, is certainly a hidden gem within Helston. No names or location will be within this article as it was a magical experience to wander upon this cafe and have a great meal. It was unexpected and a lovely atmosphere. The set meals varied but all were well presented when it appeared from the kitchen from the waitressing to the food arrangement. The roast turkey was succulent, the gravy was subtle and not overwhelming the dish. The roast potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. the vegetables were clearly boiled, the carrots were kept sightly al dente, the green beans were soft and appetising. The starter soup was extremely filling, thick and well presented, served with two triangle slices of bread. The main course was filling, the flavours were consistent and ...

Moray Buses Last Choice for Locals?

Is this down to careless managers or carefree drivers? With prices on the rise, how can the bus station justify the tardiness of their vehicles? The people needing or relying on the transport available, arriving only to find delay or cancellation impeach ingredients work or adjoining services. Although only mentioned recently the buses have been in a down spiral for months going on years. From missing people out when late and not stopping to not turning up at all. On countless occasions, the bus has failed to pull through. You hurry for a bus and what do you get? Sore legs standing and waiting. With many people relying on their services why is there no emphasis on their schedules to be on time? With all the rage it is not always there fault. Many times when on the buses with the baggage areas below and the steps, it can take them up to 25 minutes to help a wheelchaired passenger on. Perhaps they are out of practice or perhaps it is the old machinery installed in the bus. ...
