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.

Funchal’s Nightclubs Entry Points Controlled by ARAE And PSP

By Samantha Gannon on 14th November 2021 8:23 pm

ARAE and PSP inspectors took control of the entry points to Funchal’s nightclubs this weekend. As part of their city wide crackdown, they checked the digital vaccination certificates of all partygoers to ensure that only those who had been vaccinated against Covid-19 could party the night away. During the two night operation, they only caught two clubbers who were trying to gain access using false documentation.

The certificates were immediately confiscated, and the two individuals will now face disciplinary action by the Public Ministry Office.
