6 YEARS OF HOUSE - 2 YEARS OF BLOOM
Part 2 - continues from previous Post -
When everything seemed to get back to normal in 2021,I signed the lease for the space of Bloom, a week later, there we were in Lockdown Again.
Everyone was so afraid of the present time, and we were looking to build for the future.
Bloom Venue, was a condemned building, close and in disuse for over 20years, Kellett square, in front, was not exactly a safe place at nights.
With a special help of a great man, whom I owe a lot to, the building was restored and brought back to life.
Then we took a lot of time, to think, design and build every single corner of the venue, once again was House Made. We painted all the walls, designed the room, the logo, the seats, we built the tables, the coffee machine area, all the pending lights and shelves, and here I owe a special thanks, for that special woman and her eye for beauty, I wouldn't have never been able to do this without her, but now I know I can.
So here we are now, 2 years of Bloom went by so fast and I really feel this beautiful story is yet to finish.
I give away all myself to be able to open every week,
And to keep my staff motivated, happy and conscious,
I lose sleep and serenity over each complaint but I absolutely love it and that's the only reason I try to keep on doing it.
Thanks to all of you,
for being a huge part of this special Journey,
To each person that orders a Coffee or a Vino,
To each of you who knows what's behind
My Hands Made Pastas and Pizzas.
To each of you who take time to tell me how good the food was, or ask me a suggestion on wine.
To everyone who comes every week, look beautiful and sit down and work or meet people at Bloom,
Thanks for each one of you who like to party at ours, that organise long tables, do special requests for their meals, to each of you who played or joined as guests during the Jazz Nights.
Thanks to each of you special souls who worked at House and Bloom, long-term and one shifters.
Thanks to all the House People,
Now we BLOOM
Love you,
Mauro
