We are on the Nullarbor heading from Perth to Adelaide by rail on the Indian Pacific with my now 70 year old mother.

Nothing much to do other than play cards, eat, drink and watch my self-tan develop until we arrive at my birthplace and Mum’s ol’ stomping ground, Adelaide. (If you haven’t visited you should).

On the train we are surrounded by pensioners who are gleefully spending their children’s inheritance. Looking at the demographic we are hoping no one pops their clogs enroute.

Unfortunately, I have made the chap with the oxygen tank nervous. If my claustrophobia does not dissipate soon – his tank is mine.

We have three nights on the train then two in Adelaide to catch up with family.

Husband is home in charge of Christmas. I fully expect the house will be decked out with automated fairy light and dancing santas when I return.

My Mum is 70 and she is awesome.

How did you / will you celebrate your 70th birthday?
