OCTOBER 9, 2026. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed to the beach.
A Seal headed for the sea.
The tide was going out
The Seal played catch-up.
Mr.Gunn/Lunn, Friday Basil and Excellent Dog Alfie caught up from the north.
They chatted.
Beach Buoy made a fuss of Excellent Dog Alfie.
The light was both strange and beautiful.
The man who parks upstairs North Gare walked the water's edge with his Border Collie.
Distant waves were shared.
Repair work on-going on North Gare Pier.
The silence of the Cranes Booms.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked the low level route.
Beach Buoy added two sturdy stones to the sea defence.
The Sea Serpent Marker.
Up the small slope.
"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.
He patted
THE
stone.
He topped up the wildlife water bowl.
He scattered some seeds.
There was a new Brakesy!
Brilliant!
Talented Artist.
On the grey rocks below, the Crows waited for them to leave.
"See you mate."
Beach Buoy and Another Dog returned to the low level route.
The Crows made a beeline as the Crow flies to Stubborn Dog Stack.
They headed back
Up ahead, the random pipe seemed to have found a new friend?
The light in the bay was almost unbelievable.
So dramatic and contrasting.
The man who once had four dogs passed by with three.
They discussed the wonderful light and the Seal.
It all felt a little magical.
Every day is.
Every beach.
Every sunrise.
Beach Buoy felt so very lucky.
Even The Sea Serpent surfaced to see the strange morning light.
The light changed again.
Back to the north a rainbow came and went.
Beach Buoy couldn't recall such a dramatic morning.
The Seal was still on the sands.
The Seal.
And again.
Glorious!
The Random Pipe.
Friday morning.

8 OCTOBER.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog had walked to the beach.
It was an afternoon visit.
They were up at Stubborn Dog Stack.
A lady and her small black dog came along from the south.
"How do people manage without the beach or a dog ?" she asked.
She had asked the wrong person...
Beach Buoy.
Preparation...
Dad would have been 100 next week.
Found this driftwood a good while back near to the low level route.
Wanted to put a marker for him up at the stack.
Later l bought the stencils for my October card set.
The stencils fit the cards and the wood perfectly.
Pure chance.
The wood has been drilled.
Four holes for four screws.
It may deter someone from trying to throw it away?
I will attach it to one of the giant pencils up there.
It has had a coat of varnish too.
It will head to Stubborn Dog Stack on the 15th.
