I too am passionate about bringing pleasure into people's lives - it's so often forgotten that pleasure is one of the absolutely essential ingredients of life! Anything that encourages us to take life a little less seriously is to be applauded. I had wondered if the name of your company was inspired by the Red Balloon film. I have the Red Balloon book (made at the same time as the movie). It was always one of my children's favourites at bedtime and was passed onto us by another family where it had been a favourite. The story is a delight - a red balloon bringing so much joy into a little boy's life. I'd love to now pass the book onto you if you don't have it - for your children or to have around your office, I know it would be going to a good home! Look forward to your next post. Regards, Kim.
