This is Ed (pictured).
He is definitely a Hot Numbers best buddy and has been visiting since we opened our doors in Gwydir St all those years ago as we brought speciality coffee to Mill Road.
He has supported us in so many ways and his passion for life and commitment to making the world around him more positive is infectious!
Recently, Ed penned us a couple of poems in a reflection of Hot Numbers through the years and sent them through.
We will put them up on the wall and enjoy reading them again and again. They’re also included below for you all to read online too!
Thank you for being you, Ed!
“HN (GWYDIR)”
The first in the ‘Family’
Now one of three,
Developing nicely
In City and country.
Great coffee and smiling Baristas
Have helped see it through,
More than a decade has gone
Even though many faces have moved on.
Covid was outfought,
HN’s never fraught,
Closure treated with respect,
Restrictions considered a little circumspect.
Live Jazz is back
As though never away,
Rich notes and chords,
To help forget the day.
People all round approve,
This well-run business uplifts and does good,
Now considered ‘well in the groove’,
A ‘jewel’ in the neighbourhood.
