Beach Buoy.

SMALL WORLD.

 


Dad.
Taken and filtered from the photograph below.


Beach Buoy took the photograph.
It was around 1974.
The location was the Cabins at Middleton, Hartlepool.
It was taken before a fishing trip

At the time the Cabins were dotted around Middleton Basin.
Much of the area is just a car park now for some of the Marina Apartments.

Small world?
Beach Buoy walks the beach at nearby Seaton Carew on a regular basis.
Beach folk chat.
Many are easy to get on with.

One of the people that Beach Buoy sometimes walks and talks to is a man who once had a Beagle but now has a Spaniel.
During a walk and talk, Beach Buoy realised that the man's Father was a good friend of Beach Buoy's Dad.

Beach Buoy remembered him too.
That's him on the right of the photograph.
Harry.
Harry is still alive.
83 now not 31.
Then again Beach Buoy isn't 15 going on 16...

 Beach Buoy and Another Dog arrived at the beach car park at 6-34 a.m.
Three lost-looking men had gone from car to Esplanade Wall.
They were looking southwards.
"Morning. Ok lads?"
They went on to explain that they South Gare Pier fishermen.
They wanted to know how to reach North Gare Pier, wanting to try their luck there for the first time.
Beach Buoy pointed them in the right direction.
"Cheers Mate."


It was a gorgeous calm day.


The sea was calm too.
It almost looked like glass.
The tide was well in.
Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones.

A young lady in a white shirt and a flamboyant hat was litter picking her way along the beach.
"Morning."
"Morning."
A large amber-coloured insect flew nearby.
Beach Buoy held his phone out flat.
The insect landed on its if were a tiny helipad.
A magic moment.
It took flight.

A man with no dog passed by.
”Morning."
"Morning."
