Twinning Visits

First Three-Way Visit to Williton

April 2012 saw the first three-way twinning visit to Williton with French twinners from Neung being joined by a small delegation of German twinners from Wulften in Lower Saxony. Unfortunately the weather was not always kind to us, the twinners waking on the first day to the heaviest rain for years and subsequent flooding! However we were determined not to let the weather get in the way and carried on with the programme regardless of the weather forecast and thankfully the sun came out for the remainder of the visit.

We enjoyed a tour of the new Weston pier with fish and chips and a stroll on the seafront, a visit to the Wetlands and Willow centre overlooking the flooded Somerset levels, a trip to the new Somerset Museum in Taunton and a walk across the Quantocks with the Quantock ranger, finishing off with Maypole dancing and Croquet at Halsway Manor.
Our friends in both France and Germany went home having experienced the best and worst of British weather, but it didn’t dampen their enthusiasm and we have hope to join them in France this autumn and Germany next summer.
