To me, the most amazing thing is that you managed to land at Stapleford on a weekend
He he, I was familiar with the airfield since I did there my PPL back in 1990 and some 5 years of flying later. Yes it was kinda busy but it gets much worse at times. In page 7 top left pictures (55 & 56) you can see the C152 doing a touch n'go ahead of me.

The occasional problem (as you know ) with uncontrolled fields is that you open up the circuit to provide space with slower landing traffic ahead and then another slower aircraft behind you may cut a corner and get in your way if the PIC does not respect priority
It did not happen to me this time.
