| It had been a hot day. Beach Buoy had put off going down to the beach until a little later than he would have done. He had hoped it would be cooler and less busy..... It was still a very warm night and the beach and promenade were still busy at 7-45pm. As they had arrived at a busy car park, two horses and their one man buggies weaved their way through the parked car and walking beach-goers. The twitcher types had company again on the promenade wall. Beach Buoy headed down the access ramp. He passed a conveyor belt of mams, sat on the low sloping wall, watching as their children did a group activity on the beach. Another organised activity was being carried out near the dunes. Beach Buoy wasn't sure just what the activity was, but some of the group had been down to the sea to fill orange buckets with sea water. Towards the North a group of kick boxers practised their moves. THUD THUD THUD travelled the beach as they made contact with the training pads. |

| There was a slight breeze off the sea. The sound of a Train horn drifted down the road from the nearby rail track; just a random series of notes. Like the ones you may hear had a neighbour's offspring taken up a trumpet at school for the music lesson..... Then brought it home to become proficient with the instrument....... Oh the joy! |
 |
| Luckily the south end of the beach was a little quieter. |
 |
| A random cloud tipped rain into the sea, quite a distance offshore. |
 |
| Back to the north, people posed for Lowry. As Beach Buoy and Stubborn Dog approached the grey rocks they noticed lots of tangles of brown seaweed. It was like the Mermaids had set up a pop-up hair salon and forgot to sweep up afterwards. |
 |
| Meanwhile on the dune edge the two beach pals rested up after a long hot day and watched the world go by.... and a young couple and a middle aged couple and an old couple it was bit like a time line the young couple walked near the dunes the middle aged couple were on the strand line The oldest couple were at the water's edge... next stop THE SEA. BEACH BUOY. |
