Welcome to Hemyock, Anonymous Wednesday, December 03 2025 @ 12:53 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. Sunshine and a few showers today.
A dry and bright start for many, though patchy cloud and few showers for western and southern coastal areas. One or two more showers popping up across the region during the day, but overall a good deal of fine weather. Maximum temperature 11 °C.
Early clear spells, but turning increasingly cloudy, with strengthening winds through the evening as a band of rain pushes eastwards overnight, bringing some heavy downpours. Scattered showers feeding in behind. Minimum temperature 6 °C.
Rain gradually clearing from eastern areas. Some brighter spells in the west, and a day of sunshine and scattered showers generally unfolding. Overnight, frost and fog patches may form. Maximum temperature 9 °C.
Friday brings a bright start, but quickly turning unsettled as a rain band with strong winds pushes northeastwards. Remaining unsettled thereafter, with a mix of blustery showers and sunny spells.
