Welcome to Hemyock, Anonymous Friday, January 09 2026 @ 01:31 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. Rather windy and cold with scattered showers.
Showery rain, sleet and hill snow, associated with Storm Goretti, gradually easing for many. Skies brightening in the west with showers, these perhaps wintry over the Moors. Remaining windy. Maximum temperature 7 °C.
Scattered showers this evening, occasionally wintry over the hills, then mainly dry overnight with clear spells and a risk of frost and ice. Patchy freezing fog forming. Minimum temperature 0 °C.
Drier with sunny spells in places but still a chance of showers, these wintry at times and most frequent in the west. Feeling rather cold in brisk northwesterly winds. Maximum temperature 8 °C.
Starting mostly dry on Sunday but rain arriving later, heavy in places. Turning milder thereafter with heavy showers or longer spells of rain. Becoming windy at times.
