As he took the short drive, the Beachcombing Border Collie Couple were walking around the block.

It looked like that they were giving the beach a miss for now.

It was wet and windy. 

The view north.

Unsurprisingly there was no one else around.

See you mate."

He returned to the beach.

Back to the North.

He headed back along a lively water's edge.

A steady stream of car headlights were traveling south.

Off along to work.

Silhouettes of Gulls passed by in the darker sky.

Back to The Esplanade.

The rain had stopped.
