We left a pair of Swarovski NL 10x42 on top of the car at East Chevington, Northumberland yesterday and then stupidly walked away, 5 minutes later we realised then returned but they were gone, I know it's a long shot but nobody on here picked them up and are trying to return them?

Love this. Anthony Gordon recently met a little girl called Ivy, who has sadly been diagnosed with Hyper IGE Syndrome.
He promised her if he scored, he would do her celebration.
He was true to his word.
What a great guy! #NUFC
