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.

We Need to Streamline Immigration Process

By Samantha Gannon on 3rd November 2021 9:11 pm

The PSD presented a plenary draft bill to the Assembly of the Republic this morning, entitled ‘For the guarantee of fair treatment to foreign citizens in Portugal without a valid travel permit.’

Since 2015, the community of Venezuelans in Madeira has tripled, said PSD deputy, Carlo Fernandes, at the presentation of the document. The PSD stated that as of today, 9,455 foreigners live in Madeira, 15% of which are Venezuelans and 14% are from the United Kingdom, and that streamlining the immigration process was vital to the region.

We wait with baited breath…
