The Echo Observer

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. The golden Sands are soft and light, great for a picnic for a family day out or a challenging running ground for low impact training and exercise.  The views are lovely for pictures, whether you are an avid photographer or take the odd pic for the album; the sea air and scenery have a pleasing atmosphere. 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...

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.

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.

Who said Dreams don't come true? His artistic flare had been put on the back burner, now his talent is finding the light as Daniel Fairbairn, recently redundant from the oil industry, took a chance and has his first exhibition. His paintings are in acrylic paint and are on a range of canvases. His work is also printed onto table mats, coasters and cards. Daniel started painting when he was round about 7 years old and continued from there, his school choices reflected his talent, his goal to be an artist. Later on, he moved to more casual jobs his talent being benched for his spare time. Later on, after that Daniel started working within the oil industry for 15 years until being made redundant almost a year ago. With art pieces both privately owned and some in the Royal Infirmary in Aberdeen it's a real wonder how this person has stayed out of the light for so long. Though between working and having a family time is hard pressed and not easy to find. So he wo...
