SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL. 5, SEPTEMBER 2026.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog reached the beach at 7-07 a.m.
The lady with a red coat and a brown dog called Jasper was just returning to her car, beach walk done.
They chatted about the joys of early morning beaches.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed down the Access Ramp.
The Sun was out.
There was a wind from the west.

TAKING PLACE ON BORROWED SAND
TAKING PLACE ON BORROWED SAND.
We leave footprints,
Paw prints too,
Some build Castles,
Enjoy the view,
But this place, where we stand,
It all takes place on borrowed sand.
The tide comes in,
The beach is sea,
Dogs and children,
They run free,
But this place where we stand,
It all takes place on borrowed sand.
Regular people ,
At regular times,
Walk to the sound,
Of Church Bell Chimes.
But this place where we stand,
It all takes place on borrowed sand.
A man had four dogs,
Walks with three,
Another Dog walks with me,
But this place, where we stand,
It all takes place on borrowed sand.
One by one,
We'll come no more,
What were the stack,
Of dune stones for?
All ghost stories, where you stand,
All took place on borrowed sand.

TOM, THE SUNDERLAND SUPPORTER. 1961-2026.
Above a screenshot of an earlier blog post from the day we first chatted.
Tom told me of his Cancer diagnosis.
We fist bumped as we left
Tom wore a mask.
We stopped to chat many times after that initial meeting.
We swapped emails addresses.
On January the first 2026, Tom was in the Car Park.
They wished each other Happy New Year.
Beach Buoy last saw Tom on 5, April 2026.
He passed on July 9 2026.

I've looked back through the blog...
Here are some photos of Tom, Kira his dog and one from the last time l saw Tom.
