So sorry to hear about your baby grandson&amp;#39;s fight for life and so glad they have identified the problem (what a chance that midwife came to visit) and that he is recovering. Your descriptions of Belfast show that things have not moved on greatly recently despite the lack of news emanating from that quarter these days. I had hoped things might have improved. Glad too that Marie has found a fall-back position for her agorophobia/monophobia in your absences.
