Beach Buoy woke Another Dog.
They reached Sandy Car Park at 6-46 a.m.
They headed down the beach access ramp.
A lady was coming up from the beach with her waggy dog.
"Morning."
"Morning."
They headed to the tidal sand.
After distant waves were shared, the Man with a Rucksack and a Rottweiler continued northwards.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed south, collecting five suitable stones as they did so.
It would soon be sunrise.
A perfect breeze blew off the sea.
Beach Buoy checked back to the north.
They continued south.
The beach sloped steeply down to the sea.
The Wind Turbines spun in that lovely breeze blowing in from the south east.
The Beachcombing Border Collie Couple headed south then north.
They don't hang about.
At 7-10 the Sun peeked through a gap in the clouds.

"See you mate."

Back along the low level route.
Back along the beach.
Up above the dunes, the Moon still shone brightly.
The jogger must have almost met himself going back.
They headed back along the water's edge.
A stream of beach trapped water was returning to the sea.
A Crow seemed to be guarding it, perhaps wanting a toll?
Beach Buoy scattered a capful of seed nearby.
He hoped that it was enough?
It was.
The Crow let them pass.
They continued northwards.
Mr.Gunn/Lunn stopped to chat as he and Excellent Dog Alfie made their way south.

They went their own way.

"Morning Paul."

JUST A BIKE RIDE. 28, SEPTEMBER 2026.
Beach Buoy cycled down towards the sea.
Beyond the dunes a Wind Turbine Vessel could be seen heading to the river.
By the time that he had cycled to The Esplanade, the Vessel had slipped between the Gares.
Beach Buoy headed off to the north end of the Esplanade.
The regular bait diggers
He made a point of climbing the steeply banked car park.
He free wheeled down from Newburn Bridge.
He went to the southern end of the Esplanade.
The man with a Tricycle was there.
They chatted.
They had chatted before.
