09 DEC 2020. SEATON SANDS, SEATON CAREW.

Beach Buoy and Stubborn Dog arrived at the beach car park at

 3-33 pm.

The air was still and fresh.

The tide was way out.

They walked to a point mid-way between the strand line and the water's edge, then headed south.



 
There were no massive waves.
It broke gently where the water met the sand.
The sea just rose and fell, like peoples hopes.
Out in the bay, the horizon looked as if it had been edged with lace.
The beach was very quiet.





They continued their walk to the south.







Beach Buoy collected four stones and headed up to Stubborn Dog Stack.
He placed them thoughtfully ensuring that the stack would remain stable for a long time to come.
The Sea Serpent surfaced near to it's marker.

An Aeroplane flew overhead, heading for Teeside's Airport.

They headed back.
The light was slipping away quicker than dry sand through loosely cupped hands.





By the time they had almost reached the car park some people had torches out on the sands.

Two customers were drawn to the bright lights of The Hungry Seagull.

Or maybe it was the smell of Coffee and Waffles?

Once served, the couple stood using the promenade wall as their picnic-in-the-dark table.

As they stood and watched the lights twinkle in the bay, The Hungry Seagull Owner began to turn his off.

Shutters went up.

As they do....

BEACH BUOY.
