SEATON SANDS 23 NOV.2019.

Beach Buoy and Stubborn Dog were up and about at 6am.
Beach Buoy made a coffee and sat drinking it as Stubborn Dog found a blanket to lay on.
A wave of rainfall fell over the house.
It was lovely to hear it on the sloping roof.
The blind at the rear of the house was up.
Beach Buoy watched as the bare branches of the Apple Tree danced in the wind with only partial a light of the sky as a backdrop.

7-10 am and it was time to make move.
Beach Buoy peeled Stubborn Dog from the warm blanket.

7-25 am saw them sat in a very wet and otherwise deserted Car Park.

As they walked to the water's edge, Beach Buoy could see that the 7 am club were heading back.
The lights of The Headland twinkled.
In a twink or blink of an eye the 7am club had arrived.
Mari the Poodle and two mates came to say hello.
In fact Mari was back another three occasions, the last time she stood up and put her front paws up on Beach Buoy's shoulders.

Crows on the strand line chose to walk south, the wind was bit too strong for them.
Rain lashed into Beach Buoy's face; perfect.

The ashes stack is growing day by day.

There was no one to the North.

Or to the South.
The Wind Turbines were faded, looking like tall ghosts of sailors each carrying a red warning lamp.

The beach drained.

A man with an Umbrella walked along the Pier.
He cut his walk short and turned back, calling out a day; a rainy day.

Beach Buoy had a stand and think down by the Grey Rocks.
A jogger in red did appear on the beach but the also turned back.
Perhaps he and the umbrella man were distant relatives?
They were even more distant now as they were heading in different directions.

First bottle top for a while.
They headed back with a tailwind for company.

Two ladies were heading South into the wind and rain, walking almost apologetically.
They turned and walked back with an arm swinging swagger; the wind behind them.

Sanctuary.
For those interested ..
The Van is all glass on the far side.
On the side shown the rear panel is wrapped in black vinyl.
It reflects like the tinted windows do and works well giving space in the van for higher cupboards ad a TV mounting bracket.  

And this fella a good anti-theft device.
