Patsy also uploaded a heartwarming shot of her hubby and their son looking sunkissed and sleepy after a day of surfing.

Captioning her image, in which she donned a black and white patterned top and black-rimmed glasses, she wrote: ‘Don’t you just love all your wrinkles and messy hair and a cup of coffee looking at nature feeling hopeful.’ 

Patsy moved to the States six years ago with husband Richard Merkell and her three youngest offspring Fenton, 20, Emilia, 19, and Bertie, nine.

And the family have been living the American Dream ever since in their sprawling beachside abode with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean.

In May, the actress-turned-DJ was surrounded by her loved ones as she celebrated her 48th birthday in lockdown, with her family treating her to an assortment of baked goods.
