SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL. 31, OCT. 2024.

 Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked to the beach.

It was 8-14 a.m.

The tide was out beyond the Seaton Carew Wreck.

It was sunny and mild.

The last day of October had shown up dressed as the first day of September.

The sunlight was gorgeous.

A man walked four small dogs by the water's edge.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed south.

A blabbermouth walked the dune edge, thinking his voice was a better than a dog lead for controlling his dog.

It wasn't, not really.

Beach Buoy paused.

He let the noise go by.

He searched some shingle.

He found some Sea Pottery. 

When the coast was clear, they continued their walk.

They arrived at Stubborn Dog Stack.

"Morning Mate "

It was 8-40.

Beach Buoy added some stones 

He  patted

THE

Stone.

He sat on the well-worn plank with plenty of rust.

Beach Buoy sat just watching the sea.

Another Dog kept lookout.

"See you mate."

They headed back along the "easy" route.

There was only one on the beach below.

The man paused every now and then to take photographs.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog returned to the beach.

A slow walk back on the vast beach.

They crossed the car park to the sound of sea tax coins being collected.

They walked down Elizabeth Way.

A smug-looking Black Cat sat on a sunny windowsill.

It looked like it was it's Birthday and Halloween all rolled into one.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog crossed the road.

There are some apartments for people 55 plus.

A mobility scooter came along.

Beach Buoy stepped aside to let it pass. 

"Morning "

"Morning."

The driver was about Beach Buoy's age...

Another mobility scooter.

Another man about Beach Buoy's age 

" Morning."

"Morning Mate."

Beach Buoy counted blessings and mobility scooters

BEACH BUOY.
