On WEST END EUROVISION! June 4, 2013
The Eurovision Song Contest has always been a highlight of my yearly calendar, beating Christmas, Easter, my birthday, and even holidays.

Today, however, I am sat on the terrace of a villa in Nerja, about 45 minutes' drive from Malaga on the southern coast of Spain.
