SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL, 19 MAY 2019.

It was 6-56 am and the 7 am club were on their way...
It was bay of contrasts this morning.
Hartlepool Headland looked faint and distant like the love 
interest in a novel set in victorian times; well, sort of.
In contrast the south of the bay was bright and fairly clear.
Up in the dunes a figure walked three dogs.
The figure was going up and down the undulating dunes as if riding the mad mouse that lived in the fairground that used to stand to north.
(The Mad Mouse was the name of the Heater Skelter
in Seaton Carew many, many years ago.)  
Half way along the beach, it started to rain.
Beach Buoy had two hoods; neither went up.
The rain was refreshing.
The rain was fine.

Beach Buoy and the short short man passed like ships in the night.
Overhead two seagulls had a mid- air battle.
perhaps it was the duo from the car park yesterday; the song and dance act?
Perhaps they were arguing over top billing.
"GULL & BIRD!"
"NO!"
"BIRD & GULL!"
At the grey rocks, the grey sea kissed the sand goodbye for  now as the tide headed out.

The items above were found and left behind.

The pot / stone train was .... a keeper.

These were also left behind.

BEACH BUOY.
