Raise a glass We celebrate the achievements of artisan gin distillers, Curio, this Christmas.

BELOW Husband and wife team, William and Rubina

C

urio Spirits, Cornwall’s artisan distillers, have good reason to be raising their glasses this Christmas.

First and foremost, they have recently added another salubrious tipple to the already award-winning Curio range, which sources blueberries from a former Cornish monastery to create a refreshing gin full of Cornish goodness, a worthy addition to the already popular Curio Rock Samphire (renamed Curio Wild Coast Gin) and Curio Cardamon Vodka ranges.

From the distillery that dares to be different, Curio Blueberry is an inspiring addition. We hear from Curio Alchemist and Head Distiller William Tyler-Street, who tells us: “This is a soothing gin with a pleasing personality and depth of avour designed to be sipped neat or enjoyed with tonic.” Keeping to the Curio ethos of sourcing botanicals locally, the blueberries are taken from Bonallack, just a few miles inland from the coastal distillery.

Bonallack is situated on the upper reaches of the Helford river, on the site of a Bronze Age settlement. A Time Team dig discovered remains from the 12th century and proof of the existence of the cultivation of berries and other vaccinium were also found during the dig. So it appears that at onallack, Curio was certainly not the first to appreciate the taste and medicinal properties of blueberries and other botanicals!

Blueberries contain anthocyanin that gives them their blue colour and health benefits – they help heart health, bone strength, blood pressure, diabetes management, cancer prevention and mental wellbeing.

Along with the new gin, the original Curio Rock Samphire Gin has been renamed Curio Wild Coast Gin to re ect the coastal location of the distillery, as well as nodding towards the ethos of hand foraging rock samphire and seaweed from the local clifftops. Curio

Director and Partner Rubina Tyler-Street explains: “As the coastline played such an important part in the creation of Curio, we felt that we should acknowledge that in the name of the gin.”

Also new for 2018 are the new bottles for the Curio range – made from 100 recycled glass – which make Curio the only completely recycled gin bottle in Cornwall and one of only a few in the UK!

A Christmas gift haven Make sure to visit The Grey Lurcher where you’ll find a beautiful selection of gifts this season!

Stockists of beautiful homeware and lifestyle products, you’re sure to find a gift for that special person this festive season. Named after the much-loved family lurcher, inside there’s a distinct French feel; from the imported fresh soaps to the organic candles and cosmetics by Durance En Provence, you’re surrounded by lovely products from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave.

As well as known brands in the gift sector, owner Julie Oats makes sure to stock a selection of much loved work from Cornish artists and makers too. Examples include a stunning range of Emporium of Illumination lampshades and cosy blankets from Atlantic Blankets, perfect to snuggle up with as the days draw in.

The Grey urcher also stocks Annie Sloan paints, ideal if you want to give your furniture a vintage French feel. Julie has also recently attended a workshop in Oxford with Annie to learn exactly what works with her stunning range of chalk paints, an invaluable lesson that Julie can now share with you. Julie tells us The paint has added another dimension to the shop, it’s a joy to use, it’s remarkably versatile and the impressive colour range means there really is something to suit every taste.”

This month, The Grey urcher is celebrating its first anniversary as part of the eclectic mix of small indie businesses in Falmouth, and it’s fair to say that it’s snuggled in amongst the unique shops and eateries within the Old High Street particularly well!

t c e f r Pe IMPERFECTION Inspired by the rugged textures of Cornwall’s north coast.

S

wedish Jeweller Carin Lindberg lives and works in the historic fishing village of Boscastle on the beautiful north coast of Cornwall. She takes inspiration from her Scandinavian heritage with its simplicity and elegance, as well as from the wild Cornish landscape surrounding her home.

The new Rugged collection is therefore inspired

by Cornwall’s spectacular north coast with its cliffs and rock formations, and incorporates the colours of the sky, sea, beaches and the surrounding landscape. Vibrant blues and greens team up with stormy greys and neutrals; sterling silver with rugged textures and a rustic patina complements the atmospheric colours and makes for a collection full of character and depth. The rugged collection has particular emphasis on oneof-a-kind pieces with beautiful striking gemstones such as opals, tourmaline, tanzanite and aquamarine and follows on from the very popular Pebble collection, featuring beach pebbles from Cornish beaches, set in sterling silver.

Carin tells us: “I make jewellery that you can wear and love every day. My jewellery isn’t highly polished, nor mass produced, in fact I would go as far as to say that perfect is boring! My jewellery has character and personality, just like me and you.”

Carin continues: “I take pride in using quality materials, scouring the world, including my local beaches for unusual and precious stones. The fact that I make all of this with my own two hands also means that I’m happy to make bespoke pieces that incorporate elements of your particular personality.”

So, if you want to keep a piece of Cornwall close to your heart with a beautifully crafted item of jewellery then make sure to visit the Carin Lindberg Jewellery website and discover the natural beauty of the Rugged collection.

A country house CHRISTMAS Visit Trevince House this December and experience the historic beauty of its grand rooms and Victorian stables.

ì ABOVE

ating back to the 13th century, Trevince sits proudly overlooking Gwenapp. Located within the ‘richest square mile in the world’ – a term coined in the 19th century when the area was rich in copper – the importance of Trevince as part of the social history of copper mining has led to it being named a World Heritage Site.

With its granite ashlar, pink killas stone and classical portico entrance, Trevince has a majestic beauty that belies its rich history and stately grandeur. It’s been in Richard Stone’s family since at least 1281, and had never been open to the public until it hosted its first event in 201 , A Country ouse Christmas.’ ow, for the third year running, Richard and his wife Trish will open their doors again so guests can peruse stalls filled with beautiful items and explore the grand rooms, taking place this year over the first two weekends in ecember, from 0th ovember until th ecember 10am until 4pm . Trish explains We fill the rooms with uni ue Christmas gifts and our dining room becomes a pop-up café serving hot drinks, delicious cakes and light lunches!”

Following the success of A Country ouse Christmas,’ Richard and Trish have put together a bustling calendar of events for 201 . Experience the resonating sound of opera, with the trio ‘The Opera Singers’ singing in the rawing Room in February,

then in March witness the grand opening of the gardens to the public. Situated within 2 0 acres of farm and woodland, the grounds include a stable block, parkland and historic walled garden. In May, enjoy the two-day Garden Festival, which will include speakers, demonstrations and even a plant pharmacy where you can learn how to nurture your struggling plants back to health. Trish adds: “We also open our Victorian stables to showcase local artists, and we will be running a series of workshops from the Stable Yard including willow trellis making, lino printing and a spring felting workshop.”

Since opening to the public in 201 , Team Trevince’ are working hard to build up an amazing calendar of events for you to enjoy the beauty and history of Trevince and continue to keep the estate thriving for future generations.
