SEATON SANDS 09 JUNE 2018.


Beach Buoy and Stubborn Dog arrived at the beach at 06-37 a.m.
A Council Road Sweeper Truck travelled the Car Park up and down in a pattern, clearing the trash left by the previous beach goers. Another Council worked clad in Hi-viz clothing wheeled a wheelie bin into position
The Day was overcast with a fresh breeze from the North.
It wasn't cold as such, but two hoods were pulled up; escape time!
The tide was well out.

The two set off South... there weren't many characters around to try and work out.... but there were Balloons!



Couldn't have been stage managed any better if he had tried... Beach Buoy came across this Balloon , blown in from the Sea and caught by the Dune Edge.
and gloves.....
Beach Buoy arrived at the WW2 blocks at North Gare around the same time as another one man and his dog.
Beach Buoy made a daft sketch of the view ( He can't draw for toffee.)
Toffeeless they headed back.. more Balloon litter and a fishing line with hook and sinker with the bait still on the Hook.

7-35 am first siting of the 7 o'clock club.
Beach Buoy and his mate were up in the rocks, so he doubted the large friendly poodle would clamber up for it's usual neck rub.
He was mistaken. The large cream dog spotted Beach Buoy and headed over to see him. After the neck rub the dog jumped up and placed it's front paws around Beach Buoy... a Hug!

Beach Buoy had spotted the large blue fish box on the outward journey; he collected it on the way back.

Beach Buoy drove back, he saw a man with Dark Denim Clothes and a  Beard. He had his hands dug deep into his pockets as though angry with the world? On his back he was carrying a two strap guitar case. The neck part looked empty and drooped over sadly.
Perhaps he had hit upon hard times?
The Guitar was sold?
Maybe just his life belongings in the case?
Rock'n'roll eh?

Beach Buoy headed  back.
He photographed his #2minutebeachclean.
He drank Tea.
