| They arrived in an overcast Car Park at 6-30 a.m. The council sweeper truck was making tracks up and down the car park as if he was cutting a lawn and was trying to make it a striped lawn. There was a slight glow on the horizon, where the Sun should have been. The Sea was rippled; a couple of steps away from being rated as choppy. There was a breeze off the sea and the slightest hint of a sea fret hung in the air. The couple with a story of their own were heading back from the south end of the beach. |
 |
| They headed south on the water's edge. A three-legged dog had been over to say hello. It plonked itself down on its one back leg and bum. Beach Buoy had been seeing this little dog for years and years. It is the first time that it had come to say hello. Beach Buoy gave the little dog a head scratch. He could see that the black and white patches of the dog were shaded in-between with the grey hairs of old age. It happens to us all. |
 |
| Birds stood by the water's edge to see what each rush of waves had left on the sands. |
 |
| They went to stack the stack. Someone had flattened it. Needless to say it was re-stacked and added to. |
 |
| It was a mild day. The clouds shielded the Sun. |
 |
| They had a slow walk back on the water's edge. The Sun kept trying its best. They went back to the van for coffee. Beach Buoy kept the side door open as he drank his coffee. Stubborn Dog like to lay outside watching the world, people and their dogs go by. A Large car drove passed slowly. The 2000cc engine was quieter then 10cc playing loudly on the car's radio. |
 |
| Two vans pulled alongside. Two swimmers and a Paddle boarder climbed out. The paddle board was inflated. It rolled out like the slowest party blower. Beach Buoy half expected there to be a feather on the end as it reached full inflation. BEACH BOUY. Beach Buoy has received a message from Driftwood Stubborn Dog..... Am at Sea. Missing You and Stubborn Dog but am exited for the future. Been taken out past the Bay now and am heading South. Had a resting Seagull for company for a while last night and we chatted for ages. Will try and message you again soon. DSD X |
