SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL 29, NOV 2022.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked to the beach.
It was a cold and foggy day.
The pavement was as grey as the sky.
They reached sand at 3-50 p.m.
Behind them, beyond the Promenade, the Bus Station Clock Tower reckoned that it was 8-27.
The tide was well out.
The sea was just beyond The Seaton Carew Wreck.
Fingers of ship's timbers cradled it's cargo of sand.
The Wind Turbines were hidden as was The Headland.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog moved up to the strand line.
There was searchable shingle.
The torch came out, more to help the shingle search thank light the way.
They headed up to Stubborn Dog Stack.
"Afternoon Mate."
It felt more like evening.
Beach Buoy added some stones.
He patted
THE
stone.
"See you mate."
The began a slow walk back.
The torch was beneficial as a guiding light now.

SEATON SNOOKS TEA ROOM OUT AND ABOUT CARD.
3 p.m. - THE CORRECT TIME.
The Bus Station Clock went anticlockwise for a while.
It is working now, but the time is incorrect.
Even a broken clock is accurate twice a day.

SATURDAY 26,NOV. 2022. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL
Beach Buoy had crawled into bed at 11 p.m.
By 3-45 a.m. he was awake.
By 4, he was up.
At 4-40 he was sat, drawing, as he drank a hot chocolate.
Fast forward to 6-50 a.m.
In reality fast forward may not be the best term to use.
Dark mornings, that wait for daylight, can drag as much as long winter nights.
Even at 6-47 a.m. , it was as dark as night.
Beach Buoy stepped out of the van as two joggers turned in a tight semi circle at the top of the beach access ramp.
As their direction changed from south to north, one of the joggers said
"Good pace that. Two and a half K in eleven minutes."
The two men disappeared into the darkness of the promenade.
