Synopsis

Solace is that feeling of calm and comfort, that sense of peace that is all around us when we are open to finding it.
Writer and photographer Catherine Drea explores the solace to be found in nature and creativity. She reflects on loss, the cycle of life and the healing power of family and community. She muses on the joy of finding a place to call home, the escape that travel brings and the exhilaration of plunging into our waters – all the while embracing the therapeutic power of observing the ordinary and the everyday.

With the passing seasons, her camera captures fleeting moments in nature – the light and lie of the land with its precious wildlife: among them sentinel robins, elusive Irish hares and serene swans.

Solace is quite simply a balm for the soul.


'In this beautiful book Catherine Drea explores deeply emotive issues, calms the mind, soothes the soul, and focuses her sensitive lens on the wonders of the natural world.'

    You have two extremely active individuals, mid-60s, looking to many more years of future travel, boating, loyal companionship and retirement. How things can change! Not feeling well in one instance, forgetting what one did with the car keys in the other.
     
    A routine unconcerned visit to the GP, subsequent referral to a specialist and in 48 hours your life is in turmoil.
     
    “You have dementia Mrs Mclean, it’s in the early stages and in your case the CT scans have identified Alzheimer’s. No, there is presently no cure.”
     
    We then roll the dice once more. “You have a carcinoid tumour Mr Mclean. Its metastatic and barely noticeable. However, we have made an appointment for you to see a leading professor of oncology who may put you on trial for a new form of tumour suppressant.”
     
    It’s the two words that everyone fears dementia and cancer.
     
    This, therefore, is a deadly personal journey dealing with the many and varied implications of dementia. In this instance it meant caring for my best friend, confidant, advisor, lover and wife of 50 years, whilst fighting my own diagnosis.Misdiagnosed, undiagnosed, misunderstood and often denied, this killer with no conscience, now mainstream, leaves but an empty shell as a memory.
     
    If you know anyone with dementia, have been diagnosed in the early stages of dementia or if you are caring for a person with dementia, then you should definitely read this story of love, loyalty, passion and patience. A tale of never-ending belief in the future.

    In this poignant medieval autobiography, 12th-century philosopher and theologian Peter Abelard recounts his life of intellectual ambition, personal turmoil, and spiritual reflection. Rising as a leading scholar in Paris, Abelard gained fame through his bold teachings in logic and theology, but his career was marked by controversy and conflict with powerful figures, including Bernard of Clairvaux. His passionate love affair and secret marriage to Héloïse, along with the vengeful castration inflicted by her uncle, led to a life of monastic exile and inner suffering. Written as a letter to a friend, The Story of My Misfortune is both a defense of Abelard’s ideas and a meditation on divine justice, human frailty, and redemption through faith. Combining philosophical depth with emotional candor, the work offers a rare glimpse into the mind and soul of one of the Middle Ages’ most influential thinkers, revealing how personal tragedy and scholarly pursuit shaped his enduring legacy.
