Killing time on an Emirates flight I came across Big, Little Lies and watched the whole season back to back because I so loved the Californian backdrop, a part of the world which always appears in my top ten.

The opening credits show the iconic Pacific Coast Highway the road where dreams are made for this English Grey Traveller.

Reece Witherspoon drives over what I believe is the Bixby Bridge and is taking her somewhat precocious daughter to orientation day at school in the beautiful Monterey.

Cut to a model beach house and breakfast on the verandah and of course the perfect outdoor deck area overlooking a perfect Pacific Ocean seascape sunset…… take me back there #Californiadreamin’…looking forward to the next season and the next road trip.
