01 NOVEMBER 2025. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.
Saturday Morning.
It was very windy.
Too windy for Another Dog.
Beach Buoy set off on foot, alone.
As Beach Buoy locked the front door, the Beachcombing Border Collie Couple and their conversation disappeared around the corner.
His passed Bus Station Clock Tower at 6-50.
It may look otherwise.
People and shadows tell lies.
It was a short walk from the Clock Tower to the beach.
Shifting sand snaked across the beach.
Leaving Another Dog at home was a good call.
The strong wind was from the south west.
The tide was well out.
The Beachcombing Border Collie Couple seemed to cut short their walk today.
Perhaps too windy?
Or it may have been the difficulty in locating finds as shifting sand will stick to anything wet.
The Seaton Carew Wreck.
Why no dog?
This is why...
To the north a man talked loudly into his mobile phone.
Beach Buoy headed south, collecting five suitable stones as he did so.
Gulls twisted and turned in the air getting nowhere fast.
Beach Buoy continued south.
Needless to say, two hoods were up.
Sand went from Dune to sea.
Beach Buoy paused to look out to sea.
The wind almost pushed him over.
It was better to keep moving.
He headed for the low level route.
The height of the dunes offered some shelter from wind.
It was almost like a calm day.
"Morning Mate."
It was 7-29.
Beach Buoy patted
THE
stone.
He added five more.
He had a stand and think.
"See you mate."
He had decided to keep going south along the dune edge.
He passed the camp and bicycle that had been abandoned about a month earlier.
He passed a float of some type.
As he walked the dune edge, the Sun began to show.
After resting on a barnacle encrusted tank trap to make notes in his beach book, Beach Buoy made his way back.
The return journey was without incident or discussion.
The second abandoned bicycle of the day.
A few hours later the wheels would be taken, leaving the frame.
It seemed to be a strange situation.

Friday morning.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked to the beach.
It was the most stubborn of walks.
Stop.
Stare.
Power struggle.
Carry.
Explain to other dog walkers.
Stop.
Stare.
Power struggle.
Carry.
Repeat.
It can be fair to say that when they eventually reached the beach that they were not on talking terms.
They finally reached the beach at 7-31 a.m.
Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones as they headed for the wreck.
The tide was coming in to reclaim it.
It was a mild and milky morning.
Others headed south too.
Beach Buoy spotted Team One Black Ear up on the strand-line, heading north.
He and they took a diagonal route so as to catch up for a chat as they passed one another.
They chatted before heading off in opposite directions.
A Hopeful Crow landed nearby in hope of a treat.
A couple of more failed attempts and off it flew.
"Morning Mate."
it was 8-05.
Beach Buoy patted
THE
stone.
He added five more.

Another painted stone had arrived.
It had small yellow bugs glued to it.
Beach Buoy had a sit and think.
As a guide as to just how mild it was, the man who walks like the meeting was rearranged to another location at the final moment, stomped along the water's edge with his coat draped over an arm.
"See you mate."
They returned to the beach.
The lady with a white dog and black dog walked the dune edge.
The Banana Yellow boat that tends to the Wind Turbines slipped across the bay as a large ship took aim at the river.
Smaller Ships traded places.
Sea Pottery.
Two ladies with five dogs headed south.
From a distance one of the dogs looked more like a Pony.
The three tiny dogs in the group only added to the effect.
The man with a Dashing Doodle Dog went by.
The dog dashed over three times.
The Big Ship approached the river mouth as they left.

Fields of Cows and Sheep to the right.
The pathway leads to North Gare Pier.
They headed to the beach.
The sky looked wonderful.
They reached the beach at 6-51.
Down at the water's edge, the 7 a.m. club was chatting to two sea swimmers.
The 7 a.m. club headed north.
"Morning Paul!"
"Morning Geoff!"
Distant waves were shared too.
Beach Buoy and the dogs headed south.
He collected five suitable stones.
There was a slight chill in the light breeze from the north east.
A man with a young Border Collie seemed to have no compass as he headed this way and that.
The 7 a.m. club continued north with Crows on tow.
Beach Buoy was drawn to the water's edge.
At 7-05, the Sun rose.
A lady walked with her dog to the water's edge.
She took a sunrise selfie.
Two Big Brown Doodle Dogs came trundling along.
No problems.
The lady with a red coat and a brown dog called Jasper stopped to chat.
They chatted.
Beach Buoy and the dogs, made their way to the low level route.
7-23 a.m.
"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.

stone.

Team Muzzled Dog and Mr. Gunn/Lunn chatted just beyond the grey rocks.
Beach Joined the chat.
Beach Buoy and the dogs continued north.
He chatted to Team One Black Ear.
They headed back together.
A Boat almost came ashore.
God Bless Them All.

There was a chill in the air.
A Light breeze blew from the south west.
The Person who wore headphones walked the Car Park.
Beach Buoy and the dogs walked towards the sea.
Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones as they did so.
They headed south.
The sea was much calmer today.
Sky kisses hung above the dunes.
The man who once had four dogs, led the way with three.
Team One Black Ear were well to the south.
Beach Buoy stopped to chat to Team One Black Ear.
Beach Buoy and the dogs headed to the low level route.
They reached Stubborn Dog Stack.
Borrowed Dog.
He's no bother really.
"Morning Mate."
It was 7-46.
Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.
He patted
THE
stone.

Another wonderful painted stone by Brakesy had been kindly left at Stubborn Dog Stack.
Thank you Brakesy.
One half of Team Muzzled Dog came up the small slope.
They chatted a while near to the stack.
Beach Buoy and the dogs returned to the beach.
A Barge left the river behind.
It was carrying Wind Turbine Towers and the required blades.
The blades are stored in racks at the rear.
It headed east.
Beach Buoy was surprised just how much the blades hung over one side of the barge.
Then there was three.
BEACH BUOY.
