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.

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 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 ...

Helston Holiday central in Cornwall?

Home to a military Base; Culdrose, it is considered to be a picture perfect town where tourists strive to visit. From petite petaled' flowers in hanging baskets to its ideal location, just a stones throw away from a gorgeous little beach Loe Bar.

Paths used for cycling, walking,  running, riding and all manner of activities honeycomb the woods and landscape providing tracks of many different difficulties for every sort of person. Not to mention a quaint cafe situated near, by-secting paths that will take the weary adventurer to beach, Porthleven, Helston or off on a new wild adventure. The cafe is dog friendly, bike friendly and have a wide selection of food a...

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. ...
