SEATON SANDS 25 05 18.


It had been raining.
The rain had stopped.
Beach Buoy and two dogs arrived in the Car Park around 6-30pm.

There was a childish "man" racing around the Car Park, driving through the large puddles in the uneven surface.
Nearby a lady with a Large Dog picked up various items of litter from the South End of the Car Park.

She placed them into a nearby bin then slipped away looking (For no Reason.) a little embarrassed.
The tide was well out and there was a wind from the North.
Out in the Bay the mist partially hid the usually prominent Wind Turbines.
There were only around  six visible and they looked like dying, branchless  tree trunks in a Forest from a scary children's story; no spinning blades could be seen.

Beach Buoy had always thought that they should paint them to look like Giant Sunflowers.
There were a few patches of shingle, but alas not many finds. Much of the Beach seemed to covered in items too small to be shingle , but too large to be sand; Beach Buoy made up a name for it; SHANGLE!
The three went as far as North Gare.
The weather had been poor now for three days, but today at least the Skylark was up in the damp grey air, trying to put on a show after two cancelled performances.
Beach Buoy pictured  a Gene Kelly type skylark doing a version of Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance, not wishing to let down the Beach audience.


Beach Buoy did a Beach Clean as he plodded along.
Plastic, 

Rope, Balloon Pieces and Disposable Lighters.
They always seemed to still have lots of fluid in them.
Beach Buoy wondered how much Liquid Butane was floating around inside of them, at Sea on the Ocean Waves?

They made their way back on a bit a of Dismal Evening Weatherise.
The View was a few different shades of grey, but well short of enough for an Erotic Novel.
The Sea had shaped and sculptured the Beach into dips and slopes.
With an odd large Rock thrown in to the mix, here and there it looked a little like a Lunar Landscape.
Beach Buoy and his crew took ''One small step." after another and eventually reached the  Capsule... sorry! Car.
BEACH BUOY.
