Oh, how wonderful to meet Bertha the Beetle and learn from her!
This is a lovely post, Ivor! Photo, poem, and Ms. Midler song!
Isn’t it fun to bug-watch and learn from them?! They can be so encouraging and inspiring to us! 🙂

I’m not sure my grandmother was. My mother did her best during those post war years, but I certainly am just like your grandmother and so are my girls.
