An early start in the darkness.

30, SEPT 2026. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.


 It was too nice just to sit and let the day slip away. 
Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed to the beach.
It was 6-12 p.m.
It was still as bright as could be.
In just over an hour the Sun would be gone.
Count your blessings.
Make the most of everything.
Keep moving.
Keep going.


It was a lovely evening.
People and their dogs walked the narrow beach.


A family of five headed back north barefoot in the sea.


A man stood looking at the sea with folded arms.
As if to say "Impress me!" 


The sea was wilder than the weather would suggest.


They continued south.




A Lone Oyster Catcher walked the water's edge.


They walked the low level route.
Beach Buoy added two sturdy stones.
A young lady was sat on the dune edge, just north of Stubborn Dog Stack, watching the breaking waves.


"Evening Mate." 
Beach  Buoy added the five suitable stones.
He patted
THE
stone.
He sat on the driftwood seat with an elevated view.
The sea put on a show.
Long curling waves broke slowly.
The closest to surfer waves that Beach Buoy had seen in a good while.

"See you mate." 
Beach Buoy scattered some seeds for late dune mice or early morning Crows.
He topped the wildlife water bowl up.
They returned to the low level route.


They, and others headed back to the north.


Dusk came.
Sea Front windows began to glow 

Beach Buoy.

It was very mild.

20 degrees.


They collected five suitable stones.


It was high tide.

The continued south by the water's edge.


Beach Buoy checked the north.


Some big handy "Robinson Crusoe" type lumps of driftwood.
Come in handy on a Dessert Island to build a stockade.


They walked the low level route.
Beach Buoy added two sturdy stones to the sea defence.


" Morning Mate." 

Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.

He patted 

THE 

stone.

He scattered some seeds for the Crows.

He topped up the wildlife water bowl.

They had a sit and a think.

As Beach Buoy made a film, a Gannet seemed to almost ride the waves.

North to South, directly in front of Stubborn Dog Stack.









It was wonderful to see.


"See you mate." 

They headed back north.




The tide has turned from high.
