Friends from Germany visit Dorset every year and love the area so much that they decided to have their wedding blessing here.

Over 50 friends and family joined them and we heard nothing but praise for the welcome they received and the help they were given.

In particular, two young men found themselves at Bowleaze on Thursday, June 6, and asked the cafe owner if he could suggest where to go to see the local sights.

He asked them to wait while he closed his cafe, then took them in his car for over three hours and gave them a tour of Portland (the Bill, Jailhouse Cafe and Church Ope) while showing them other points of interest on the way.

Thank you Peter, of "Aunty Vi's Cafe"!

You have restored my faith in human nature and make me proud to live here.

I hope that you have made up for the trade that you lost on that afternoon - I will certainly be paying you a visit.
