Welcome to Hemyock, Anonymous Tuesday, June 16 2026 @ 10:30 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. Changeable with rain at times, though some warm sunshine too.
Early low cloud, mist and fog will lift to give some bright spells. However, further low cloud, with mist and fog patches will gradually spread across the region from the west, accompanied by patchy rain. Feeling quite warm and humid. Maximum temperature 20 °C.
It will be a cloudy evening and night with mist and fog patches. There will be some patchy rain, turning locally heavier and more persistent later. Warm and humid. Minimum temperature 14 °C.
Cloudy and murky during the morning with some outbreaks of rain, locally heavy for a time. Becoming mostly dry during the afternoon with the chance of a few brighter breaks. Maximum temperature 19 °C.
The weather looks rather mixed to end the week and start the weekend. Areas of cloud will give some rain at times, though feeling warm in any brighter breaks.
