Beach Buoy and Stubborn Dog reached the beach at 7-20 am
Hartlepool had been put into tougher lockdown restrictions from midnight.
Beach Buoy presumed it was ok to go to the beach.
It seemed ok for the golf club to be busy with men form different households all playing together with little white balls and no masks.
The beach car park was empty.
A council van seemed to be patrolling the promenade.
It was raining.
They passed the large driftwood lump and went on to stack the stack.
Rain stopped, hoods came down.
There were a few people around, but in general it was a quiet scene.
Mari, the big friendly poodle was there, she galloped over to say hello.
They headed back to the van.
The council van was still on patrol.
A Police car came into the car park.
It headed for the van, then turned.
Beach Buoy followed it out of the car park.
The police car and Beach Buoy drove passed the busy golf club...
BEACH BUOY.
