Twick Air,
We all know EXACTLY what you are suffering! It took me a little over 2 years to get my licence, due to a combination of poor WX and requirements to work away from home for long periods.
Stick with it - if you want it, you'll get there.
I'm in Twickenham as well, BTW - where are you flying from?
Maybe we can meet up sometime.
Good luck
SD
