That's probably the best wordplay you can expect out of me at this time of the morning. :P

For me, the Costa del Sol has always been a place of solace, for a long time being my favourite place in the world. For one week in the cold and dark of November, when most other kids were at school, I would get to go to a little resort on the southern shores of Europe, where I could come to get away from it all for a short while, and have space as a kid to live a little. In this regard, and in countless others, I consider myself to be so fortunate at the start of my life, and I'm thankful to all you who made it possible, and continue to make my life special today. With this being my last year here, I truly feel like this is the end of an act in an opera, as a place that means so much to me fades with the sunset.

But the sun always rises again, and casts a fine light on an exciting new world. Now that new world may look much the same as the old one, but we can look on it with new and more experienced eyes that can make sense of it all and appreciate it so much more, and can enjoy the small variations which draw our interest and curiosity, until the sun sets and the game begins again.

In other words, here's a pretty beach in Andalucia, to which I was able to arrive early enough to snap the sun rising.

Hope you enjoy!
