5, MAY 2025. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.

 

Monday.

Bank Holiday Monday.

Typical Bank Holiday weather.

October in May.

Beach Buoy, Another Dog and 22 year old van arrived at the beach 

at 6-20 a.m.

There was a very cold wind from the north.

Thankfully, that cold wind was blowing the dark clouds away, to the south.

Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones for Stubborn Dog Stack.

The north looked to be more promising?

South Gare was taking a battering.

As much as Beach Buoy loves the visiting bird life, he stresses over their well-being when the bad weather turns up.

The 7 a.m. club head back north.

They stopped to chat to each other as they passed.

They had a good five minute chat.

They went their separate ways.

The sea was rough.

Breaking waves hid the horizon.

They headed for the low level route.

"Morning Mate."

It was 6-52.

Beach Buoy added the five stones.

He patted 

THE

stone.

He sat on the driftwood plank with plenty of rust.

It faced the incoming wind.

So did he.

Beach Buoy was feeling more 70 percent than 100.

They headed back.

"See you mate."

Back to the beach.

The Beachcombing Border Collie Couple were up ahead.

They walked the water's edge.

A couple and their Spaniel were dots in the distance.

Team Muzzled Dog arrived as Beach Buoy and Another Dog were leaving.

"Morning."

"Hiya."

"Morning."

Across the Little Tern Site.

A lady put her electric car on charge before heading to the parking meter with here light brown Labrador.

"Excuse me! It's free until 9 a.m. "

At that the dog set off for Beach Buoy as though 

"Excuse me! It's free until 9 a.m."

was it's name.

"Thank you.

Ollie!

Ollie!"

The dog was bouncing up and down at Beach Buoy in a friendly over excited manner.

All was good.

"Thank you."

with that, the lady, her backpack and her dog headed to the southernmost access ramp.

Off to recharge her battery as her car did the same.

A photograph for a drawing later.

The man who walks the perimeter of the car park with headphones on did so over and over.

The gentleman in question is not in the particular shot.

Back to Base Camp 

Beach Buoy had coffee and toast as he wrote today's blog.

He went to bed in search of the other 30 percent.
