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.

Two roads were closed today due to bad weather.

A landslide occurred on Regional Road 103, Fajã Grande, located in the parish of Faial. The Volunteer Firefighters of Santana were the first to attend the site, and the road remained closed until all the debris had been removed.

The municipality of Ponta do Sol also confirmed that Estrada dos Anjos was blocked due to a large landslide. Reports indicated that the rockfall had happened the night before, and teams from the Municipality of Ponta do Sol, and Municipal Civil Protection Service officers, were on site to assess the situation.
