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 blended well with each-other. The only criticism was that there was no Yorkshire pudding.

The pudding, which was a choice from many sweets was a rhubarb crumble and custard. The overall appearance was quite alarming but the meal its self was very good. The crumble on top was biscuity and crumbly, melting in the mouth. The rhubarb was perfectly cooked, not chewy, not crunchy; it was melt in the mouth, just falling apart when running the spoon through the delicate, tangy surface. Not quite like Mum makes it; a little reminder that home may be far away, but there are still many-a similarity everywhere that will help it feel like the old country house in the sticks with rhubarb from the garden.

Cake Competition and Craft Fayre; In Aid of the RAF Benevolent Fund

Starting the day with enthusiasm despite the growing grey sky above! At the Lossiemouth Community Centre on Sunday the 14th of May, Crafters from over the moray area attended the event their stalls set up within one of the sports halls at the high school. From Soap to handmade silver jewellery there was a large variety of crafts. Many cakes and bakes were donated to help with fundraising. They also had a small tent outside and next to it was the hot food stall where a hog roast was done from 11 onwards for the day. The event ended at 1. As the day went on it brightened supplying periods of the radiant sun which were intermittent between torrential rain. Many of the crafters had been crafting for over 3 to 4 years. Their skills honed and true to their craft. Shark Bait and Sprocket was a crafter that had only started collecting the and using the sea glass and sea pottery to create beautiful pieces of art just last year. And for such a short time with the trade, they h...

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. ...

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.
