WHENEVER the demons of doubt, despondency, and despair overwhelm my thoughts, I repair to the Beacon Cafe in Church Road, Ferndown.

The cafe is a very pleasant and relaxing place to be and, after consuming a delicious light bite and a warming cuppa, I enter the adjoining St Mary’s Church where I meditate for a few minutes within an intoxicating atmosphere of reverence and love.

The troubles of the day soon evaporate, removing all stress and restoring my peace of mind.

I recommend to anyone seeking respite from the demands of a challenging world to do as I do and visit the Beacon Cafe and St Mary’s Church.

I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
