Beach Buoy and Another Dog reached the beach car park at 3-45 p.m.
A fact confirmed by the sound of the village church bells, ringing a quarter of an hour.
Recent winds had finally blown themselves out.
It was a sunny afternoon with a slight breeze.
Schools were off for half term.
The car park was busy.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed for the access ramp.
A family of four were in front each carrying a folding chair.
"We'll find somewhere in the shade." said one the group.
Agreed it was sunny, but it was a long way from being hot!
They may have their reasons?
Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed to the sea as the chair family set up camp in the shade and shadow of the promenade wall.
Less sun shy family groups were dotted around the beach.
Coats were removed for goalposts as
Dad v Son kicked off.
The tide was way out, so a busy beach looked not to be so.
πΊπ¦
Sand,sea and sky.
Apparently....
Down at the water's edge, mothers watched as their children played in the February, North Sea.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed up to
Stubborn Dog Stack.
Stones were added.
"Afternoon Mate."
He patted
THE
stone.
Coffeeπ
Chocolate π
Dog treat π
It was lovely to be up in dunes without a strong wind for company.
Still no Skylarks to be heard.
A distant dog bark and a gently breaking sea the only sounds.
"See you tomorrow mate "
They returned to the beach.
They headed back.
They reached the promenade.
An East European family group cycled by, speaking their native language.
A ginger haired lady climbed into a ginger coloured camper van and drove off.
For an hour or so it has felt a little like a piece of summer... Almost.
Beach Buoy.
