Beach Buoy and Another Dog reached the beach at 3-50 p.m.
It was grey scene.
A slight breeze blew from the south west.
The tide was more in than it was out.
People and dogs dotted the beach ahead.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog made there way southwards.
A friendly dog came over.
"He's only come to see if you have treats, otherwise he'll have nothing to do with you.'
Laughed the owner as she passed.
Down on the dune edge a white dog and a black dog took it in turns to chase one another.
JOE AND JACOB
had written their names in the sand.
Sea pottery.
A lady in a carriage?
They saw a green Scaffolding Board near the sea...
They took the "Easy" route through the dunes to Stubborn Dog Stack.
"Afternoon Mate."
It was 4-33.
Beach Buoy added some stones.
He patted.
THE
stone.
He replaced some stones that someone had scattered around.
He was pleased that the wooden wedge over a metre long was still in situ.
Coffee on a wooden wedge.
A dune walker passed by in front of Stubborn Dog Stack.
"Hello there." said Beach Buoy.
Nothing...
Beach Buoy stood to go.
A couple passed behind the stack with their two small black dogs.
Beach Buoy tried once more.
"Hello there."
"Hi." the lady answered.
They were heading north.
One of the black dogs had a long white beard.
He began to walk towards Beach Buoy but had second thoughts.
"He's not very brave. Come on Ted "
Beach Buoy waited until the couple had gained some distance on the beach below.
Time to join them.
"See you mate."
Slow walk back in a narrowing beach.
The lady with a whispy dog passed by, heading south.
"Good Afternoon."
"Hello there." Beach Buoy also raised a hand for a non- distant wave.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog dawdled
In no time at all the lady with the whisky dog overtook them.
The whispy dog came to say hello.
"C'mon Scruffy."
The name fitted the dog perfectly.
BEACH ART.
LEAN ON ME.
ARTIST UNKNOWN.
BEACH BUOY.
