Sunday Vlog #5 Victoria Bakery Run 

Delicious bakery and a walk in the woods with a beloved dog. Now that’s living! Thanks for the uplifting video.

You had my full attention at butter croissant and chocolate. 😂 I love your peaceful walks in the woods video. I am so envious. And you couldn't ask for a sweeter little walking companion than Skye. As always, thanks so much for taking us with you! --Paula from Ohio USA 😊

I’m lying in bed at 3:30 in the morning watching this video. Couldn’t sleep but the relaxing video and music is making me sleepy. But I have a hunger pain now. Those bakery delicacies might keep me awake the rest of the night 😊

What a lovely video! I'm 56, but I retired march 22. I'm apprehensive about this new journey, I'm hoping my days are as serene as yours🎉🎉

Such a great video. Relaxing and wonderful. I love the little bakery. Thanks for taking us for the ride. The bread you bought looks delicious. And the walk you took looks so serene. Your dog is adorable. Thanks again for the great video!

I love your videos. I love Victoria. Your video of the bakery could be a great marketing opportunity for them but I guess they don’t want that. I wish I’d known about Fry Bakery when I visited Victoria.

I could smell the bread through the screen!

Love seeing your channel grow! I’m single, I’m 35 I do have 3 children but a lot of the same rules apply. I have to know how to take care of myself (your tip to have a tool box was spot on!) and find joy solo ❤ Your videos give me a lot a peace. Happy Monday !

I so enjoy your vids. I lived on VI for several years and still miss it. Your numbers are going up.🎉

Hello from Oregon. Thanks for sharing your day.

I think the drive adds to the delicious anticipation! Thank you for sharing your walk- I’ve moved to the suburbs and desperately miss the woods🌲🌳

I love that little place too

What a beautiful Sunday! Your walk was like a peaceful meditation❤ thanks for sharing.😊

Darling dog! 🥰 Peaceful video 🤗

So nice to have a quality bakery - your choices look delicious

Simply and purely lovely.

I just found your channel and plan to bing watch. It has been in my mind that I need to learn daily life in the event I am left single. My mom was unexpectedly made a widow, and she was totally unprepared. I want to be able to care for my self so no one feels the need to take control of my life “for my own good “. Thanks for helping me look to the future and prepare.😊👏👏👏

I’m mid-island and spend my time similarly - a good bakery stop and a lovely walk on the nearby trails with my dog. I’m happy to see your pooch with its bear bell on. I recently had a close encounter. Luckily, it was more scared of us.

I love watching your cute little dog Skye, lovely, lovely... thanks for sharing.

That bread looks amazing. Looks worth the drive.

You've completely got my attention now. Great bakery. Yes on Sundays my two dogs get their walk in the house!! My one year 7month grandson and his 2 and a half year old cousin call each dog by their names and those dogs run several times to the little ones when called. Of course parents are watching we have to be proactive. But everyone loves the 2 girls and they are so gentle that I think the kids are rougher!!! I think they don't need a walk after so much fun. I wish I had your scenery. It was nice watching. ❤❤GREECE.

I am so glad I found you. I am not quite alone but my husband has early signs of dementia so in some ways alone and will be at some point. You are wonderful and very helpful. Bless you

A woman after my own heart....willing to drive to a good bakery. ❤ I live 90 minutes from Notte's Bon Ton Pastry shop in Vancouver. It's been closed and is supposed to open this spring. I am not so patiently waiting.

I'm from the Seattle area and your makes me miss walking my dog on those cool, overcast days. I retired to Florida a few years ago and now I have to worry about the pavement burning her paws! Love your channel, keep up the good work!

Thanks for sharing your day. 😊

I bought a book to use as my journal brilliant idea, thanks

Thanks for the info about the bakery! Although I live in Duncan I will have to check it out next time I am down

There are so few wonderful little bakeries like this, nice you live within a reasonable drive.

Ever so peaceful.

What a peaceful and scenic walk - thanks for sharing this 😊

The baked goods looked delicious 😋 loved the way u pronounced, 'croissant'. I usually reward myself at the end of a long walk 🚶‍♀️u do it beforehand, lol! ❤

Nothing like a good bakery and a scenic walk. Great video and thanks for sharing your adventure for the day. Take care.

I have a bell on my Beagle as we walk twice daily too, more to warn the bunnies she is on a sniffing expedition. Skye has a good life indeed. 🐶🐶

The sourdough looks delicious. Going to Alaska in September and hope to find some starter. Your day was beautiful.

I loved your bakery that bread looks amazing. I wanted a slice lol. Thanks for the walk it looks divine and that sweet Skye having so much fun. Wendy from Winnipeg. It will be awhile for us to have such greenery.

My friend and I are going to Victoria in September! I hope we can find Fry’s Bakery. I live in Minnesota. We’re also going to Vancouver. I love your channel. ❤️

Yummy bakery and cute doggy!!!!

Love you channel. Great idea, the puppy bell and cute.

That looked like a fun and tasty morning get-away.😊

Lovely walk. Skye is one lucky dog! I could smell that bread...

Isn't it good when someone makes you realise how lucky you are? That's what you did showing the croissant and pain au chocolat from the bakery which i can walk past and collect on my five minute walk to work here in the south of France. Mind you rustic breads are further afield.

I thoroughly enjoyed this morning’s vlog. Such a beautiful, serene walk!

Such a beautiful walk !

Thanks again for another peaceful video.

Thank you for sharing your corner of the world. Your videos are so peaceful and your dog is just adorable. Keep showing us around and sharing your wisdom. 💕

13:06 STUNNING!!!!

Very peaceful way to start the day! 💕

Lovely! What a blessed life you live!

Lovelt pastries lovely dog vut i despise walking lol

Hello nice walk thank you for sharing. Enjoy your baked goods. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓🐓

I love Victoria- have only been there once- would love to go back someday. Your dog is so cute and what a great walking trail. Looks dry there . Very wet where I live (WA state).

What a beautiful area to walk!

Thank you for taking me along on your walk . I truly love nature and and being out in it. This truly was a blessing to me. Thank you again. The music you chose was just right for this video. I enjoy your channel immensely.

Your accent is good, I like to hear the pastries names pronounced correctly. A good bakery is nice to have. I usually buy a few things and freeze them. Real bread is so good too, I eat a slice a day so I keep it in my freezer too. Dogs are the best. Your videos are very good.

Nice video work!

Just loved the walk through the forest with your dog (name?)!! I love nature, and it would be wonderful if I had such a wonderful walkway to not only get some exercise, but a lovely place to think, be alone, snoop nature out, etc.!!

Adorable bakery!

The bread looks delicious!

The baked goods looked amazing. I’m gluten intolerant, so wouldn’t be able to join you in enjoying them, but hope they were delicious 😊

Hi from Australia. I’ve just discovered your channel and you have just given me so much inspiration to start my own channel. I’m about the same age and my job was made redundant 5 years ago after working for 30 years. I was totally devastated. My hubby soon after was diagnosed with a rare lymphoma and then liver cancer which he is doing well considering a Dr gave him a couple of months to live when he was diagnosed. I am on a disability pension and have a side hustle of making and selling mostly silk scarves on EBay and Etsy. I watch a lot of RU-vid and have often considered creating a channel. One of my main reasons for not starting is having the courage to let go of my fear of being judged and dealing with trolls. Hey I’ve just thought of a video title I can explore! I guess once you dip your toes in the water it gets easier. I have a lot in common with you I think from just watching a couple of videos. Yes I used to drive an hour to a French Patisserie once a fortnight to buy almond croissants, chicken and leek pies, custard and cherry danishes and whole grain sourdough bread. Bliss! Not of course to be eaten all at once!!! I also love a good coffee and books. Bravo to you❤❤❤ Perhaps one day I can interview you on my channel. I’m projecting positive thoughts. PS I haven’t worked out what country you’re from. Is it Canada? I’m going to enjoy watching the rest of your videos in the next couple of weeks. Sending positive energy to your growing success.

I have been to Canada two times. Loved it but when in the wilds was always worried about bears and wolves ? have you ever come across them ? Timid U.K lady. we dont have them any more.

Beautiful walk in the forest!

I like Fry’s as well. I’m told they have pizza there on Sunday afternoons as well as their delicious sourdough. If you’re ever right downtown, you should try Crust Bakery on Fort St. Or Bond Bond’s, of course, which is still great after all these years!

I can smell that bread all the way over in Ontario. Not fair to tempt us like that. 😂

Happy Sunday Jen!

❤❤❤

Gettin fancy with your editing already. You sure work fast when you want to learn something. You are a quick learner. I enjoyed the video. Thanks. ❤️

Is it possible you " take us " to a Spring tour at Butchart garden?

Another lovely, peaceful walk with you & Skye with the bonus of some bakery treats! About how many km/miles is your walks?

It would have been great to see some of the journey, since your part of the world is unfamiliar to me, so your views would be cool. Maybe another time?

Beautiful scenery!! I'd love an update on the monetization journey!

WOW... WHAT A BAKERY! I've never seen anything like that...yum! 🙂 You have a very nice life, it seems, without a partner. This world is set up only for couples, which makes the rest of us feel like losers at times. You mentioned your parents are like, four doors down...how wonderful!! I miss mine so much. Many blessings..have a beautiful day! Such a relaxing video..thanks for sharing. Rosemarie ❤

🙏👍😎🇨🇦🐾🌲

Another beautiful video. ❤❤ Is the hiking area very long, and is it measured? Thanks!

Do you have a camera operator? You do some interesting long shots of yourself.

I'm always afraid that one of these days Skye decides to mark her territory on your phone 🤣

There's never anybody on the trails when you're out there

A good bakery is well worth a 2 hour drive. I’d drive 5 hours for a great croissant. It’s incredibly difficult to find quality croissants in the states. 😢

What kind of dog?

Jen, just curious if you are divorced and if so how has this affected your solo journey?

The bakery looked really good, and the morning walk looked great too! If the servers didn't want to be on camera why didn't you blur out the server's face? Other than that the food looked delicious. I like your videos, I've shared with my friends and family.

Really!!! You waited till you got home? You need lessons on treating yourself!

Oh gosh, I’m going to be a negative nelly and suggest you edit the video to get the one employee’s face out of there. There could be a very legitimate reason they don’t want to be on camera. Like they’re trying to hide from an explosive ex on the other side of the country they had to flee from. It’s one thing to get video of the pastries, but another to get people’s faces in a shot. You might be putting that employee in danger.

Ty ❤
