March and April are often two of the driest months of the year when the Atlantic influence is checked by<br />
blocking high-pressure systems over the Continent.<br />
There were small amounts of rain on several days in April, and the land is still quite wet, but there has not<br />
been any prolonged rainfall for over six weeks, and the river is already approaching its summer level.<br />

Torridge Reflections<br />
A memoir by Charles Inniss<br />
Although primarily about the Torridge River and the Half Moon, the book also<br />
recalls the many village characters and visitors to the inn who have enriched<br />
Charles’s life, creating so much fun and laughter. It is factual, historical, and<br />
above all, anecdotal.<br />
Any profit from the book sales will be given to fishery and local causes, such<br />
as the community shop and the Village Hall.<br />
If you would like a copy of the book, please contact Charles on 231237<br />
