I'm Gwen. Nain to my grandchildren.
I was born in 1951 in a miners' terrace in Treorchy, at the top of the Rhondda. The coal dust came in every single morning. My Mam, Megan, cleaned the pit manager's house, the doctor's house and the chapel for thirty years, then came home and did ours, with a bucket, old rags and whatever was in the pantry.
Before she died she made me promise to write it all down, because she could see it going. My own grandchildren didn't know how to descale a kettle. So I wrote it. I don't sell sprays, gadgets or cleaning services. Just the knowing, written down.

Gwen
