Hi Neighbours. A pair of red/gold reading glasses were lost in Mairangi Bay on Saturday. My friend said she did a walk along the natural stone to Campbell's Bay & dropped her glasses somewhere along the way. If you have found them, please call/text Tina 02102103444. Or message me 027 3862680 😄 Much appreciated. Cheers Helen
