Synopsis: Welcome to My World
A travel agent who longs to travel... A world-traveller who just wants to stay in one place... And a Big Idea that changes everything...
Harriet Langton has dreamed about travelling for as long as she can remember. But life had other ideas. Denied the opportunity to see the world, she resorted to the next best thing: a travel agent and professional Armchair Traveller, helping others to do what she longs to.
With a boyfriend more interested in his job and camping trips in soggy fields across Britain than globe-trotting, her dreams of travelling seem to be slowly slipping away. It is only her best friend Alex - recently returned from ten years spent travelling around the world and now running his own successful coffee lounge - who understands her love of travel.
But then Alex's mother Viv suggested her Big Idea - and all hell broke loose...
Now Harri is locked in the middle cubicle of the Ladies' loo at Stone Langley Village Hall after the mother of all arguments. Has she lost her best friend? Will her life ever be the same again?
