Seconded to the parish of Tililngdon, the Reverend Dolores has been presented with a challenge.

She’s living in an antiquated house and she’s cold. Furthermore, her new Bishop, Bishop Alice does not approve of ‘showgirls in dog collars.’

Determined to prove the Bishop wrong, she sets about warming her house – who cares if it smells of horse! There is the crochet club, jumble sale, and soup run to organise. And this year, the church bells will ring, no matter what threats are made. Even more so, the newly formed choir will spread a little joy this Christmas, even though they can’t sing – yet! And with a little help from Phil, her bassist, this year could be full of magic.

However, she has a fight on her hands as the townies out in Knob Hill – she must stop calling it that, are trying to stop her from ringing her bells. When Krystal with a K decides to do some volunteer work, Dolores sets out to see just how committed she really is.

Up to her ears in granny squares and squawking choristers, Dolores is revving up for Christmas, yet a deeper darker secret is beginning to emerge!

A secret that could blow the whole parish apart and put Dolores in danger.

The President of the Regional Government, Miguel Albuquerque, announced today that alongside an addition75,000 Pfizer vaccines, 32,000 Johnson & Johnson single dose vaccines are scheduled to arrive next month. Talking to journalists, he said that the single dose vaccines were a boon, as they allowed for 32,000 people to be inoculated without having to worry about scheduling a second vaccine.

He went on to say that the number of Johnson & Johnson vaccines was greater than originally estimated, and that the Regional Governments goal is still to have 70% of the population vaccinated by the end of September.
