The last time I did this walk was with Jane so it was full of pleasant reminders of how we would walk and talk, enjoy the countryside and each other's company.

To be honest the game was pretty awful but we all got into the spirit of it with the help of several bottles of fizzy wine.

We all climbed into my CX5 and headed for the beach in Cleethorpes. To say it was bracing would be an understatement but we had a good walk and it was smiles all round.
