Beach Buoy had pulled onto the drive at
12-07 a.m.
He saw what he thought was a very late supermarket delivery taking place.
In fact it was a very early milkman doing his round.
Just over four hours later Beach Buoy and Another Dog reached the beach.
It was 4-28 a.m.
There was a man who watches over the Little Terns, parked up.
Two cars raced across the car park on their way out.
Two young ladies returned to their car after trying the beach in T-shirts and shorts.
It was a bit fresh out
They looked glad to be at their car.
Beach Buoy put his old orange coat on top of his hoodie.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog set off.
Sunrise came at 4-41.
They had just crossed the strand-line.
The tide was way out.
By the time the pair reached the water's edge, the Sun had fully cleared the horizon.
Around eleven minutes after rising the Sun disappeared into low cloud.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog began to head southwards.
They began to head back up to the strand-line.
The reflection on the wet sand was gorgeous.
Beach Buoy pulled up two hoods.
Just because.
At 5-12 a.m. a flock of Geese came in from the sea.
It was a wonderful sight.
They flew northwards along the water's edge for a while.
Shortly afterwards, they landed on the beach.
It was wonderful to witness.
Moments later, another flock flew in from the bay.
This flock chose to head inland.
High in the sky, a bigger bird flew over.
The beach was theirs alone.
Wonderful light spread over The Sea Serpent Marker.
It had been a special start to the day.
The light tipped the balance.
Beach Buoy's eyes filled with grateful tears.
They went to Stubborn Dog Stack.
"Morning Mate."
It was 5-29.
Beach Buoy added some stones.
He patted
THE
stone.
Skylarks sang.
Sand Martins swooped.
"See you mate.'
They returned to the beach.
They headed southwards.
A dune camp.
North End of Sand Martin Corner.
It's odd how the World War Two Traps can become characters.
Beach Buoy likes these two most of all.
Two fishermen walked onto North Gare Pier.
One had already dropped down onto the lower level.
They began to head back to the north.
The tide was working it's way back in.
They had the beach to themselves for almost two hours.
Others appeared to the north but chose not to walk as far as Beach Buoy's location.
Another Dog was proud of her beach-found ball.
It was good to see healthy Starfish in some of the beach pools.
A couple walked hand in hand along the water's edge, southwards.
Their dog ran here, there and everywhere, living it's best life.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog had a slow walk back.
Coffee in van.
By the time they left, they had been at the beach almost fours hours.
It was only 8-25 a.m.
BEACH BUOY.
