Beach Buoy, Borrowed Dog and Another Dog headed to the beach.
They parked up in Seaton Carew Park.
The Village Church Bells rang for 8 a.m. as they arrived.
Sea swimmers headed back to their clothes by The Esplanade.
Sea coal and frost dusted the beach.
Beach Buoy and the dogs headed south.
It was a sunglasses type of morning.
The Seaton Carew Wreck was on show.
The wreck today.
A lady and her Spaniel headed south on the strand-line.
The lady walked with her head hung down, a determined looking walk.

Milk bottle perhaps?
The Sun was very bright.
They continued southwards.
Up on the strand-line, a man walked northwards with his Border Collie.
The dog ran around in small circles as if watching watching Invisible Gulls.
A lady walked the dune heights with a black dog and a white dog.
They headed to The Big Slope.
A Crow stood at it's base like a doorman.
"Affiliated mate." said Beach Buoy as they passed.
At the top of the stack Beach Buoy looked to see if the "easy" route was clear.
He looked into the Bright Sun, using his hand as a cap peak.
It wasn't.
He couldn't see the size or breed of dog heading their way with it's owner.
To save hassle on the narrow route, Beach Buoy went back down the big slope.
"Affiliated." laughed the Crow.
Beach Buoy and the dogs cut along the front of the dunes.
They climbed the small and recently created access slope to the stack.
"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added some stones.
He patted
THE
stone.
It was 8-53 a.m.
He sat on the double planked seat.
He watched the sea and the sky.
He checked the beach below.

Good call.
Beach Buoy waited a while.
"See you mate."
They returned to the beach by sliding down the small slope.
Beach Buoy and the dogs headed back to the van.
A man walked southwards with his dog, close to the dune edge.
He walked a reluctant walk as though he was a small child being sent to bed early.
Seaton Carew, Hartlepool.
Beach folk just doing beach "stuff."
BEACH BUOY.
