Apple Day – which highlights the wealth and variety of
apples available in the United Kingdom – is being celebrated this year
officially on October 21, but events have already begun. Abundance London held their annual fruit day
in the grounds of St Michael and All Angels in Chiswick on October 4.
Nearly
two tonnes of apples and pears that had been collected over the previous weeks
by volunteers and pupils from local primary schools were turned into juice,
with a big apple press in action for much of the day.
There was also apple bobbing,
grape pressing and craft activities for the youngsters, while all kinds of home-made
preserves and cakes were on sale.
A great family day – and congratulations to
all involved.
