A voyage of discovery

The ACC Liverpool was hosting their annual showcase event at Two Temple Place in London. An opportunity to find out about new developments at the venue as well as to discover this gorgeous venue, which I had never heard of!

Two Temple Place is a Victorian mansion built by William Waldorf Astor on Embankment, near Temple station. It can be hired for events and is also used for exhibitions. It's a stunning building with lots of wooden paneling and a beautiful staircase.

The evening was held under the motto: A voyage of discovery:

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."

Marcel Proust

I like it. It's easy to get stuck in certain ways, isn't it? So, a good reminder to explore different angles. Nonetheless, it's also valuable to explore new landscapes and it's also easy to stay put out of laziness.

The obligatory goody bag: a bottle of rum, a chocolate advent calendar (my third this week!),
a Christmas pudding and a compass
