Luckily I didn't get run over, as that would rather have spoiled what was a beautiful day. This is the turn-off into Tremayne. There's no actual sign saying 'Tremayne': I don't think it's big enough to warrant one! (It doesn't show up in Google Maps, but it is on the Ordinance Survey's ones, a...

It’s free from much of the hassle and bureaucracy and the anoraks that sometimes hang around GA airfields. It does however mean there is a lot of grass-cutting, and, if you screw-up, there’s no one there to drag your sorry ass out. It does though, allow one to fly, if one wishes, very old aeroplanes, non radio and imagine how it might have...
...fit into my list. But UNZ.org does have several British literary journals from the early twentieth century: Cyril Connolly's Horizon, F. R. Leavis's Scrutiny, and The Bookman (though this was a Hodder and Staughton publication, it published general reviews and cultural commentary too).
