<p class="has-drop-cap">How to mark the sixth anniversary of Jane's death is difficult. Recollections and memories can easily slip into wallowing and self-pity so I decided to do something we would have both enjoyed. I drove to Chapel St Leonards on the Lincolnshire coast.</p>

<p>I walked for 30 minutes up the coast and barely came across another soul. There was a dog that kept barking at the waves as they washed in. I thought it should be Canute after <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Canute_and_the_tide" target="_blank">King Canute </a>who demonstrated he wasn't all powerful by trying in vain to turn back the tide.</p>
