Welcome to Hemyock, Anonymous Monday, May 25 2026 @ 01:17 pm UTC
A number of local youngsters who attend Uffculme School recently took part in a school exchange visit to Wellington's twin town, Lillebonne, France and a return visit has just been enjoyed. The French visitors have enjoyed visits to Montacute, Glastonbury and the Peat Moors Centre, Explore@ Bristol, and Crealey Adventure Park. Their English friends joined them for an evening at the Wellesley Cinema and two days were spent with host families. Prior to arriving the group spent a few hours visiting London
January saw Hemyock WI celebrating their birthday with a pie night at the Half Moon, Clayhidon a very enjoyable evening.
Many people will, by now, be aware that the Pump's editors Hilary and Matt Clements have a baby daughter, Verity. The birth was not without its complications and Verity arrived 9 weeks early weighing in at 2lbs 10oz on Valentines Day. She is progressing well and we send the family love and the readerships’ warmest congratulations.
A while ago I offered 4 x 1 hour French lessons at an Auction of Promises in support of Hemyock Preschool. The person who bought them was unable to take them up and expressed her desire that someone else should benefit at no personal cost. GCSE is coming. If interested, please contact Val White 681020.
There will be a number of people who will remember that we are friends with a family in Romania and may recall that the family's eldest son, Vladimir, holidayed with us for a month a number of years ago. Vladimir is reading architecture at a university in Bucharest. He recently entered and won first prize in a national competition. His prize is a trip to Milan. Hot sunshine on Monday. Warm thereafter, but some showers possible
Bank Holiday Monday will be dry and settled with high pressure dominating, giving almost unbroken sunshine throughout the day. It will become hot in the light winds, with afternoon temperatures not far off breaking records for May. Maximum temperature 30 °C.
The fine weather will continue overnight. There will be lots of sunshine to end the day. Patchy cloud may develop overnight, but remaining dry. Quite a warm night too. Minimum temperature 16 °C.
Another mainly dry, often sunny and hot day is on the cards on Tuesday. However, some patchy cloud is possible, and an isolated thundery shower cannot be ruled out later. Maximum temperature 29 °C.
The weather will stay warm through the week, though cooler than recently. There will be some sunshine at times, though a chance of a few showers, which could turn thundery.
