A Year of Cwm Cottage By Liberty Nimmo, February 2026
Liberty Nimmo is a dear friend of mine, and many of you will have kept up with her journey from travel agent to farmer. From the mean streets of Brackenbury Village to the rolling hills of Wales, on to the gentler lands of Gloucestershire, she has now very much settled in Herefordshire, Cwm Cottage to be precise.
A year in, she has done what she always does, which is to arrive somewhere and becomes part of it. She sits on the church council, helps with the Sunday service tech, occasionally reads a lesson, and seems to have a patchwork of friends of all ages across the county. Her garden, planned with care and no small amount of pride, is beginning to show winning shape and her house has blossomed into a warm heart of a home.
As her writing cheers me no end, I asked her to reflect on this past year. Even more heartening, she has agreed to write a monthly column for us.
