Glad you are doing well. Thank you for not changing your channel. I love the way it is. You are teaching me a lot. I’m not interested in becoming a KZreadr. Have had to unsubscribe from another channel because he changed into just talking about KZread creation. Keep this channel the same and keep teaching me about being an older woman on her own. Thank you so much!

Big hugs. You're more capable than you think.

I love your channel. I’m not strictly ‘solo’ but my husband has a condition that means that I am having to step up more to deal with things alone, that previously we’d tackle together. Even just walking; he can no longer as far as he used to, so I take myself off for solo walks some days. Your channel is helping me to adjust to these changes. Thank you

I totally agree with you. Keep your content silver and solo,!!

I need to tell you how much I love your Sunday walks. I live in a city in the midwest USA and it is hard to find this type of beauty and nature here. Seeing this beauty and going on this walk with you makes me tear up. Thank you, Nancy

Thank you for inspiring me to start my Chanel at 60 and disable I felt useless and all alone you have shown me never give up and that is such a wonderful gift,Thank you beyond words,I hope I too can grow and inspire others as you have done My videos are rough but I am hoping to learn like you did .

Love the garden decor. Walkies are relaxing. Great great outdoor video. Excellent music choice. Use caster oil for tha knee. Not drink, but on the knee. Research how to use caster oil on painful areas on body. Thanks for great nature videos.

I posted my first short today! It was so much fun!!! It was a satire video about a terrible nail client! Haha You have been such an encouragement for me to just get over myself and post things- Even tho they're not perfect!

Hi Jen, thanks for making this video. You’re walking really well after hurting your knee like that! I did exactly the same thing recently and have been told to rest it. The swelling is quite alarming isn’t it?! Lovely music in your video, it’s just nice to have it playing in the background….. just to let you know, that I’ve let the adds run for the first time on anyone’s video, because I like you and know it’s important for your income! I like the sound of your Patreon channel! ❤

Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden with us! Also, very exciting about your Patreon. A few weeks ago my husband told me he found someone on KZread that he thought I should follow. He really enjoyed your videos and found them informative. I laughed, told him too late. I had already been following you for a month😂. So obviously you come highly recommended ❤

Very smart, your Patreon. Your time and sweat equity in figuring things out is worth payment. Tutorials abound on the 'tube, and elsewhere, yet commenters constantly bombard content creators with "how'd you do it" questions. If asked "what did you try?", the questioners would stare blankly.
