Welcome to Thistledown Meadows.

I think May is my favourite month of the year. The intoxicating scent of the hawthorn blossom, although shortlived,
provides a spectacular contrast to the clear blue sky and lush green grass. The joyful sounds of the newly fledged birds. The majestic sight of Seven up and Sprite with their enchanting cygnets, our first fox cubs, combined with the distant call of the elusive cuckoo, somewhere near Bow wood.
All these and much more makes May the month of "All things bright and beautiful".
