24, FEB. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL


 
Beach Buoy and Another Dog reached Sandy Car Park at 6-53 a.m.
Beach Buoy faffed.
Another Dog was stubborn.

They stepped on sand at 7 a.m.
Fittingly, the 7 a.m. club were ending their walk before a sea swim.
It was the first sighting of them this year for Beach Buoy.
As the name suggests they are around at 7.
Beach Buoy's beach times vary with the sunlight and school runs.
Half Term this week.



The Seaton Carew Wreck.
Beach Buoy headed for it with two hoods up.
Maybe too many photographs of the wreck appear on here?
It will still be there when Beach Buoy has long gone.




And again...


Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed south. 
The two hoods that were up came down.
There was a fresh breeze blowing from the south west.
It had a chill.
Sometimes it's nice to feel the air.
Saying that, fingerless gloves were taken from coat pocket and placed on hands.
It's warmer than gloveless fingers.


Beach Buoy Island dead ahead.


The Sea Serpent.

Beach Buoy gathered five suitable stones for Stubborn Dog Stack.


"Morning Mate."
It was 7-33.
Beach Buoy added five stones.
He patted 
THE
stone.


Beach Buoy sat on the driftwood plank with plenty of rust.
Another Dog sat on sand and on guard.
Beach Buoy listened to contrasting sounds.
The sound of the sea and it's birds ahead.
The rumble of industry behind.

A Parcel of around a dozen Oyster Catchers stood facing the breeze on the beach below.
A Tiny Ship headed into the River, no Tugs required.

Beach Buoy stood to go.
"See you mate."
 He stood there a while, the breeze blowing on him.
There he stood, if lucky, in the late autumn of life.
He felt like a leaf when summer had gone.
Geoff's branch was already bare.
Taken in a storm.
So unfair.

Back to the beach.
Back to squeeze the most out of everyday.

So smile...


That Monday Morning Feeling.


The tide was coming in.

Beach Buoy and Another headed north.

Distant Waves were shared with Team Muzzled Dog. 


The Wreck will soon be sea.


Team Muzzled Dog.
Nice folk. 
Nice Dogs.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed to the Esplanade.
They chatted with Mr. Gunn / Lunn.

BEACH BUOY.
