Any spare Acton Apples?

I am baking over the next three weeks to raise money for the Honeypot Children's Charity; as well as training to take part in a 21 mile dragon boat row as part of the The Great River Race on the 7th September.I have been baking with the aim of using at least one Acton garden ingredient in each treat; Patty Cake Squash Cake with Lemon Icing, Courgette Muffins and Cumberland Park Blackberry Upside- Down Cake.I am keen to cook/ bake with Acton apples and was wondering if anyone has some to spare/ donate to my baking efforts and to support Honeypot?Of course any other local spare produce  would be greatly appreciated; I do like a creative baking challenge ;)Best,Sarah

What a lovely idea! I don't have any produce of my own, but I would be happy to donate any apples on my neighbour's apple tree from the branches which are in my garden. However, I don't think they are ripe yet. Looks like another week or two at least. Is that too late for you?

Fabulous! I am baking three times a week until the 7 September so I could use these in the coming weeks. I could always add some extra sugar ;)

Hi again - I have collected 10 apples so far. May be a few more later. Would you email me? clare.gittins@gmail.com

Hi thereI have a very full apple tree at my allotment and would be happy to go and pick a big bag full of apples for you if you still need them.

We have a pear tree overhanging.I'll be getting about 100 pears over the next months and cannot possibly hope to eat them all so you are welcome to a sizeable portion of them if you like.
