| It was 5-40 am. The car park was empty apart from a HGV tanker. it had been parked overnight. The tanker was chrome-like and reflected the early morning sun. The car park was littered with what looked like a creep of albino tortoises as white upturned polystyrene fast food containers, creeped in the breeze. Beach Buoy said "Morning." to a lady with two Yorkshire Terriers. "Morning." she replied. Beach Buoy imagined that the dogs were called E by and Gum. That would be fun shouting them in from the garden. |
 |
| Beach Buoy walked to the water's edge. Sand, shingle and back to sand at the sea. Gulls chatted as Skylarks sang. There was a slight breeze but there was heat in the early morning sun. Beach Buoy glanced back to see that the 7 (6)am club were on the beach.. times do vary now, with the lighter mornings. |
 |
| Ten Oyster Catchers left the cover of the dune edge , followed closely by their shadows as they headed off to sea. He had made a few finds, Beach Buoy laid them on the beach to photograph them and left them for others. |
 |
| It was 6-20 am. Beach Buoy and Stubborn Dog sat and had a think. They watched as the sea would drop a stitch and a line of the Sea Blue Cardigan would unravel before them. Stubborn dog snoozed, Beach Buoy relaxed. Beach Buoy stood up, as the large friendly poodle was heading his way. Hellos were said and Dogs fussed over. A small white dog from the group came over for the first time. It looked like a white cloud with four small cloud legs at each corner. It was friendly and just wanted to join in the scratchathon . Beach Buoy headed off leaving the 6 am club some space to put the world to rights. He headed higher, up the dunes were the breeze was stronger and fresher. He thought a while and by then the 6 am club were way ahead of him. Beach Buoy and Stubborn Dog were good at dawdling along the beach. They were better than Davey Dawdle and his mate Dawdle Dog ; they had been picked to dawdle for England back in 1967 in the Dawdle world Cup... sadly they were disqualified for taking too long to get to the competition! |
 |
| They returned to the beach later that day it was 6-15pm. There was a breeze form the west and a hot sun in the sky. |
 |
| The beach looked like a picture postcard. it was the brightest of blues and the crispest of whites. BEACH BUOY |
