The public areas @themidlandmanchester are very grand yet also welcoming. The Tea Room looks charming, and if we'd had time before my @seedtalks #studioghibli presentation we would have sampled Adam Reid's legendary cuisine at The French. Next visit perhaps!

So here we are in the Great Hall of Northampton Guildhall, all ready for tonight's #seedtalks presentation on #studioghibli - and I feel decidedly underdressed! I'm wearing my gorgeous #Totoro apron from #maisonghibli but this hall merits full Tudor with coronet and pearls! What a setting!
