Sometimes All We Need Is A Little Divine Intervention

Hope Crescent hasn’t lived up to its name for a long time. That is until ex-rock songstress, the Reverend Dolores Lane becomes the new vicar at St. Matthews. Accompanied by her unruly pets she is determined to bring her community together through – gardening! Ruth Bennet is living under the oppressive memory of her dead husband Harry, and is desperate to escape the life she is trapped in. Like everyone else Dolores is mesmerised by Witching’s Field and the tree that lives there. Dolores has another problem; the local council want to sell the land to a local developer. Time is running out, and Dolores is under pressure to save her community, the tree, and the secret that it has guarded for almost a century.

A flight from Lisbon arrived this morning, and following orders issued yesterday by the Regional Government of Madeira, non-residents will be observed and sent to a specific location in Quinta do Lorde, Caniçal to wait out their quarantine period.

In a brief statement, a representative of the regional government said that “This measure is important for us. We are an island. The island cannot be transformed into a refuge for those who want to escape the pandemic.”

As of last night, there were six confirmed coronavirus cases in Madeira.
