1, JULY 2026. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.

 


Beach Buoy and Another Dog reached Sandy Car Park at 6-05 a.m.


Team One Black Ear had just finished their beach walk.
They were sat at the "Sand out of your shoes." Bench.
They chatted.
The person who walks the car park perimeter did so.


Little Terns chattered as they headed to the beach.
Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones.

Two Ringed Plovers were about six metres apart, unseen offspring somewhere in-between.
The adults echoes off one another as they tried to catch Beach Buoy's attention.
It worked...

A Ship slipped into the river between the Gares.


Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked down to the lazy strand-line, choosing to walk the flatter tidal sands.
A lady was beachcombing her way back to the north.
Her dog wandered on its long lead.
"Morning."
"Morning."


























Sit and think.


Think and sit.


Gull and Sand Martin.


Beach Buoy spotted a waiting Magpie.

IF YOU NEED ME.

 


If you need me,

When l'm gone,

I'll tell where I'll be.

Stood by a stack of stones,

Looking at the sea.

Tell me all your worries,

Tell me all your woes,

I promise l won't say,

It's just the way it goes,

I'll be there come the rain,

I'll be there come the shine,

I'll never be alone,

It'll mean the beach is mine,

Come and feel the sunshine,

Come and feel the storm,

Think of me beside you,

I'll try and keep you warm,

Think of me beside you and I'll try and keep you warm.

Paul.

Words.

 So many words still to add.

We have the notes.

They will come.

Thank you.


Paul.

OK

Here's to the people who aren't making it to the beach at the moment.

You know who you are.

Everyone is wishing you all the very best.

Paul.

29, JUNE 2026. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.


 
Monday evening.
Just a walk to the stack to get some steps in.
It was 6-54.
Another Dog wasn't so sure that it was a good idea...
They headed south.
Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones.
It was overcast, warm with a breeze from the west.

A Dad with a metal detector searched the dune edge.
His young daughter did cartwheels and rolled down the dunes slopes like a barrel.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked the low level route.
He added two sturdy stones to the sea defence.
Nearby a couple sat on a dune slope with loud music for company.



"Evening Mate."
It was 7-26.
He added the five suitable stones.
He patted 
THE
stone.
He had the driftwood seat with an elevated view.

He watched the sea.

"See you mate."

Back along the water's edge.
Dune Tunes drifted out to sea.

The tide was heading out.
The wreck was coming ashore once more.

Paul.
