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.

UK May Remove Portugal from Green List

According to SIC Notícias, British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has confirmed that Portugal may be removed from the UK green list due to an increase in the number of Covid-19 cases and the appearance of new variants in Europe, and that he would not hesitate in tightening the rules.

If this happens, holidaymakers will be required to carry out a 10 day quarantine period on their return to the UK and pay for two PCR tests.

At this time, only twelve countries are included on the UK’s safe to travel holiday destination list.
