Blackbushe-Gloucester-Wellesbourne-Blackbushe C152

Trundled out of Blackbushe from the overhead, cleared the Brize MATZ, then onto to Gloucester, called up approach, (with ATIS), lots of radio reception difficulty, told to go straight to Tower, and I was approaching more from the Southeast than east, and from the overhead dropped in the circuit behind a twin on instr’ practice, stretching the pattern a bit.

Long wait for departure, then off & found Wellesbourne, joined the busy circuit to close behind the one in front on touch & go, so had to go around. Glad to get down. Lastly, on the route back, the lady from Benson asks my next turning point, reply,
“en route to Blackbushe”, answer well turn 30 degrees right and goodbye! I suppose she thought I would celebrate with a visit to Heathrow zone
