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.

According to a Navy source, a suspicious package was found at sea by crew members of the NRP Mondego during a routine exercise.

The package, which contained approximately 40 kilos of hashish was found floating in the waters off the Selvagem Pequena island.

After it was retrieved and brought aboard, a Maritime Police agent who was on board, confirmed that the package contained a narcotic substance, namely hashish. The authorities have been alerted, and the package will be handed over to the Judiciary Police when the patrol boat docks at Funchal harbour today.
