SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL. 11 JUNE 2022.


Beach Buoy had woke at 3-13 a.m.
By 3-30, he was up and about.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed for the beach car park.
It was 4-08 on a Monday morning.
Three Vauxhall Corsas were driving around the otherwise empty car park. 

Beach Buoy parked up.
He put a pan of milk onto the van's hob.
It was a while until sunrise.
Beach Buoy drank coffee.
The occupants of the three cars all headed to the promenade wall.
They were around twenty minutes early for the sunrise.








A yellow van parked up at the south east corner of the car park.
A man with a metal detector appeared.
The sun rose around 4-43.
The sunrise seekers headed back to their vehicles.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed to the beach.


Someone had left a child's tent on the beach.



Seafront windows glowed gold in the morning sun.



It was glorious.


Driftwood.


An aeroplane vapour trail travelled from 
B to A.
It was making a return journey,
leaving the route for all to see.




They headed south on a contoured beach.
Beach Buoy stayed in the level, walking slowly as he did so.


It was so good to be out in the fresh air 


A ship headed for the river.




Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed for a stack.
It was 5-15 a m 
"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added six stones.
He patted
THE
stone.
After a sit, time to head back.



Beach Buoy spotted a nice photo opportunity.
A rock and a plant....and a curious dog !




A very curious dog.


They began a slow walk back.



They passed the 7 a.m. club at 5-40 a.m.
Distant "Morning."s were exchanged.
Beach Buoy added a distant wave for good measure.





They headed for the van.
A very very dry retriever headed for the sea.



The kettle went on.
The radio went on, quietly.
Boots came off.


 Coffee.
Van door open to allow the breeze to cool the van.

BEACH BUOY.
