Beach Buoy woke at 4-22.
It was still dark
He could hear the Gulls cry.
He and Another Dog reached the car park at 5-24.
A man with a beard and an estate car arrived.
"Morning."
"Morning."
The man with a beard and an estate car had a dog too
They headed to the beach.
He left the estate car behind.
They walked into the dog ban area .
They scared 207 Gulls.
Beach Buoy couldn't be sure if it was the dog or the beard that spooked them?
Beach Buoy walked down to the strand-line.
No beard but Another Dog for company.
He did have a beard for a while many years back.
He grew it after just having a moustache.
"You look like Eddie Shoestring."
Well not after he grew a beard .
The beard was ginger, his hair dark brown.
He just told himself he must have Viking blood.
By the way Ginger is fine.
It came off after Beach Buoy had told a foreman that he could pick up a workmate stuck for a lift
He overheard a conversation.
"You working Saturday?"
"Yer that lad with the Orange beard is picking me up."
It was shaved off that night.
A lady walked the water's edge
She paused ever now and then to photograph the scene.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed south.
The Sun came up.
Treasure every sunrise.
Beach Buoy loves it when the Sun lays down a footpath.
They continued south after all the sunrise excitement.
The Sun seemed to follow like a balloon on a string.
They sat on the beach.
The dune edge a back rest.
An early coffee.
Beach Buoy didn't want to disturb Gulls stood down by the grey rocks.
A man with a big dog off its lead did disturb the Gulls.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed to the big slope.
6-21.
"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added some stones.
He patted
THE
stone.
Beach Buoy drank the last of the coffee.
Beach Buoy often has to replace painted stones that are taken by others.
A man with a Waggy Spaniel walked the beach below.
"See you mate."
They headed back to the beach.
They followed the tractor tracks... Again.
The lady that walks the full length of the beach was doing so.
Someone had written in the sand...
MY LIFE WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE IF YOU WEREN'T IN IT LORD.
WE LOVE YOU
AMEN.
Two Horse riders stood by the sea.
The Beachcombing Border Collie Couple arrived as Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed to the van.
Milky Coffee in the van.
Spotty toast too
BEACH BUOY.
