It was an earlier Beach than last night. It still ended up with rain. So by the time Beach Buoy had faffed on with his fancy new waterproof trousers and Stubborn Dog's new waterproof coat it was already 5-15pm. Stubborn Dog is not a fan of his new waterproofs, which are basically a onesie with trapdoor at the rear. It is a bit of challenge to get him into it. Get the fourth paw in and the first one pops out. ...... repeat.

Two hoods went up immediately. Beach Buoy could hear the the fine but constant rainfall on the outer waterproof hood. It was a damp and grey evening. The only glimmer of light came from the shop front of a distant Ice Cream Parlour... |
