Like mine the other day!

Should I have come in at 1000ft above the circuit height overhead, done a 180 to come back over the active runway threshold and then decended to circuit height whilst turning to crosswind on the dead side?

Or, as I did, simply enter at the crosswind at the upwind end of the runway whilst keeping a good lookout for traffic?

I bet there's an official answer, but the CAA pdf document doesnt seem to have this situation in...
