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.

Firefighters Rescue Cat and Her Kittens

By Samantha Gannon on 21st April 2020

At 10 am this morning Funchal Firefighters rescued a litter of kittens and their mother who were abandoned in Caminho da Barreira, Santo António.

Although the rescue was a little tricky, mother and kittens have safely arrived at the Municipal Kennel of Funchal where they will receive care and shelter.

Once well and old enough they will be put up for adoption.
