SATURDAY. 04, MAY 2024. SEATON SANDS HARTLEPOOL.

 Beach Buoy woke at 4-35.

He went down.

He made a coffee in one of his Seaton Snooks Tea Room Mugs.

There was no use dashing to the beach for the sunrise.

It was grey.

Every minute he waited the chance of rain became less and less according to Google.


Referring to scribbled notes in his bright orange scribbling note book, he caught up with the blog a little.

It was 6-26 when they finally arrived at the beach car park.

A drizzly mist drizzled.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed south.

They gave Mr.Gunn/Lunn and his excellent dog Alfie a distant wave.

Beach Buoy stopped to talk to the 7 a.m. club.

Mari had been left at home.

"She's got a bit of arthritis in shoulder."

They went their separate ways.

Mr. Gunn/ Lunn had caught up with Beach Buoy and Another Dog.

The walked and talked almost the full length to the Pier.

Both men had orange coats and little dogs.

Mr Gunn/Lunn headed beyond the tank traps to continue his circular walk.


Beach Buoy would call in at Stubborn Dog Stack on their way back northwards.
At Sand Martin Corner, lots and lots of Sand Martins flew overhead.
They are wonderful.


A couple turned and made their way towards Seaton Carew Village.
The drizzle stopped.


More and more Sand Martins seemed to join the airshow.
Beach Buoy collected some stones.
He joined the dunes from just behind the tank traps.


South to Stubborn Dog Stack for a change 


7-39.
"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added the stones.
He patted 
THE
stone.
He sat on a driftwood wedge about a metre long.
He drank coffee.
People and dogs walked the beach below.
The Wind Turbines were almost lost to the mist 
The tide worked it's way in.


"Morning."
Beach Buoy hates the sound of his voice, but needs must.


Coffee view to south.


Beach Buoy stood to see how busy the beach was to the north.


A man, a Pier Fisherman pushed his bike towards North Gare Pier.


A Jogger headed south too.

On the way back to the van, Beach Buoy stopped to chat to Team Mick Aston Jumper.

They went their separate ways.

Beach Buoy had a van coffee..

He pulled up a hood and nodded off.
