Patsy's life is like her hair- all over the place. After 25 years of doing the 'right thing', she threw it all in for what turned out to be a gypsy life. She left the UK for Sydney with sojourns in Borneo, met the Kalash people in Pakistan, and spent time in Turkey, Ireland and many other intriguing places. Her love life was as varied as her travels. No regrets but is saddened for having caused pain to her family, including her ex-husband whom she still feels very deeply for and knows that he remains supportive when the 'shit hits the fan!'
