The season of mists and mellow fruitfulness is apon us and we’re looking forward to the unpredictable weather as it’s a time of year when we spend more time in the kitchen. I love being cosy inside when it’s howling a gale outside and we’ve put together a list of things to help you enjoy the autumn and your autumn cooking below.
We’ve got some Sloe gin going in the cupboard but if you missed picking sloes this year or just can’t be bothered, this damson vodka from chic boutique distillery Sipsmith in London will warm your cockles on a cold night.
Bonfire toffee is perfect for this time of year, all treacly and sweet in your mouth for when you’re walking in the autumn leaves with your breath starting to show in the air. Buy them from A Quarter Of, where you can find all the best retro sweets. (image by Jean-Pol GRANDMONT)
These lovely plates by papercut artist Rob Ryan show a tree through the year. While the leaves are turning and falling now, what could be better?
As the days get shorter, we’re getting up later and don’t have time for a leisurely coffee before work. So why not take it with you – this travel press mug keeps it warm and fresh for our blustery walk down the hill to the office.
This rugged hip flask is just the thing for a country walk, filled up with sloe gin for a little nip en route. It would also make a lovely present for a special birthday or as an xmas present for difficult-to-buy-for brother, boyfriend or dad.

I wish I had one of these – handthrown mugs look so much cosier and tactile than factory made ones, don’t you think? And the colour is very autumnal. Imagine warming your hands on one on a cold evening.
