Filled with laughs and giggles, this memoir presents the authors spirited and light-hearted approach to living all over the world along with a husband, four young sons, three dogs, and two cats. The koi fish had to be left behind. From growing up during the black-and-white apartheid years of South Africa to suntanning topless on the silvery beaches and azure seas of the Greek Isles; from walking like an Egyptian around the earthy tones of the pyramids to savouring pearlescent beads of the finest caviar harvested from the neon waters of the Caspian Sea; from reminiscing with six-foot-four transvestites wearing shocking-pink nails to enjoying the freedom of riding chromed Harleys in the Karoo; each chapter is in itself a singular story, but when put together, they make up the multi-coloured mosaic of a kaleidoscopic life. Take a trip to the USA, Kazakhstan, Holland, Austria, and many other countries through the eyes of a woman who most certainly is not colour-blind.
