Welcome to Hemyock, Anonymous Thursday, October 29 2026 @ 02:24 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. Dry with sunny spells. Overnight fog possible into weekend.
Early mist and fog patches in rural spots steadily clear leaving a dry day for most with sunny spells. A chance of the odd shower at first along southern coasts. Light winds and mild. Maximum temperature 15 °C.
A dry night with variable cloud and clear spells. Winds remain light, with the odd mist and fog patch forming in prone spots. Minimum temperature 5 °C.
Early low cloud clears leaving a bright and dry day for many with light winds. Temperatures close to the average. Maximum temperature 15 °C.
There remains a risk of fog overnight which may linger through the morning at times. Otherwise, dry and sunny on Saturday and Sunday, but turning cloudier into Monday.
