Travelling Lightly

 Born this day in 1745 in France was Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier (6 January 1745 – 2 August 1799) who was one of the famous Montgolfier Brothers  were the inventors of a type of hot air balloon .Man could finally take to the air! 

  In January when the sun sets  as we are travelling home, we are reminded of just how beautiful our skies are, We can look up at the skies and imagine the joy and freedom experienced by these first balloonists floating over the earth in their small basket.

As we set out on another year's journey ourselves we are reminded that we too can best see the world when we are prepared to travel lightly
