Welcome to Hemyock, Anonymous Friday, March 20 2026 @ 04:37 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. A fine evening with plenty of spring sunshine on Saturday.
Remaining dry this evening and overnight. Turning colder as soon as the sun goes down, with some patchy frost possible in rural spots. Some mist and fog may develop overnight, particularly in the east. Minimum temperature 4 °C.
Another dry and settled day ahead with lots of spring sunshine to start the weekend, hazy at times, once any mist or fog has cleared away during the morning. Maximum temperature 15 °C.
Another settled day on Sunday with some sunshine though more changeable next week with some rain at times from Tuesday, and feeling cooler than of late.
