Welcome to Hemyock, Anonymous Wednesday, October 07 2026 @ 06:24 am 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. Rain clearing, but chilly in a northerly breeze.
A wet start, with cloud and rain gradually clearing eastwards to leave a bright and sunny afternoon. Feeling noticeably cooler in a moderate northerly breeze, with rather gusty conditions across the far southwest. Maximum temperature 17 °C.
A few, scattered showers around. These remaining light and fading through the early hours. Otherwise, clear spells. Winds easing overnight, feeling chillier than last night, particularly along southern coasts. Minimum temperature 4 °C.
A bright start for most, turning increasingly cloudy from the west with rain to follow in the afternoon. Feeling markedly cooler than Wednesday. Maximum temperature 16 °C.
Cloud thickening into Friday with outbreaks of rain, heavy at times with blustery winds. Rain clearing into Saturday with sunny spells and showers to follow. More settled on Sunday.
