Beach Buoy went to bed at 2 am.
He woke at work o'clock (5-20am)
Today was a day off.
Beach Buoy made a coffee for a thermal cup.
He defrosted the windscreen and set off.
A Red Mercedes just beat them into a frosty car park.
It was 6-08 am.
Beach Buoy went to have pre-beach sip of coffee but ended drinking half of it eagerly.
He headed out to the water's edge.
A Young couple were sat on the frosty beach, arms linked as they sat on a picnic blanket waiting for the sunrise.
The beach wave lady and her Mother were down at the water's edge heading south.
A man with a brown dog headed north it was clear neither of them wanted to exchange a
"Morning."
The sun tried to break free of the low cloud.
People paused to try and capture the sun.
It was 6-28 am.
The driftwood whale was dusted with early morning frost.....
... while up on the dune edge,
frolicked footprints were framed by that same frost.
The beach wave lady paused on her way back.
Her dog is a rescue dog from overseas.
The 7 am club approached.
Her dog likes Mari, the big friendly poodle almost as much as Beach Buoy does.... apparently.
Beach Buoy and Stubborn Dog headed south.
He stacked the stack.
It was 7 am.
Somewhere up the River Tees a factory was filled with the sound of a buzzer and Monday morning men.
Not for Beach Buoy's ears today.
Today it would be the sound of the sea and the Solar Powered Skylarks.
They headed to Sand Martin corner.
Beach Buoy stood and scanned the bay from the corner to the sea serpent and back a number of times.
They began to head back along the dune edge.
A Lady approached from the north with her Alsatian dog.
Beach Buoy stepped down onto the grey rocks to give her right of way and peace of mind.
She chose to turn back and retrace her steps.
Beach Buoy couldn't help but feel a little guilty that he may have spoilt her walk?
Beach Buoy headed back by the water's edge.
Crisp clear sea-foam edge the sea.
Beach Buoy recorded the finds.
Someone's beach art.
They left the water's edge and had a slow walk back to the van.
Stubborn Dog's was the slowest of all.....
BEACH BUOY.
