Phil that was such a relaxing and visually pleasing video 👌🏻. Big words oxymoron. I think I’ve worked with a few of those. I’m not familiar with the area but it looks lovely. The church. Always worth a poke about. Shame about the windmill and the NFZ. Love the farm. Quintissentialy British. Great video mate. Thoroughly enjoyed. 👍🏻🚶🏻‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Another great video Phil, and that is a really lovely and a not often explored part of Somerset, even if there is a lot of curry above it!! (Curry Rivel, Curry Mallet & North Curry). You got some great views there - well put together. Take care, Paul

[@PhilipOlsen11]

Thank you Paul. I friend of mine was from Curry Rivel so know the place quite well. I know the other curry’s too but not as well. Lovely part of the world 👍 Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

Hi Phil that was great and that's a really stunning place, you must have loved living here for the 10 yrs, I loved the country lanes and seeing the open countryside. Its good that you keep to the no fly zone with your drone.. I loved that church and the architecture around here especially the old rectory. The yellow townhouse I agree was lovely Broadway looked gorgeous and you saw lots of adorable wildlife around here and at the farm, very cute sleeping pigs ! Definitely a beautiful English country place :) ~ Anna 👍

[@PhilipOlsen11]

Thank you Anna. Somerset really is a lovely country 😁 I’ve not seen you upload much lately. Hope you’re well 👍❤️

[@PhilipOlsen11]

Geoff you are blooming lovely as usual 😁👍❤️

[@inbetween-days]

Hi Phil how beautiful some amazing cottages and set in a wonderful area. Agree with you it's nice when you are out and about to stop and say hello or even just a good morning and a smile 😃. Love the little rabbit 🐇 so cute. We are always amazed how we once built so many fantastic churches and cathedrals. The goats are wonderful they always make you smile especially if you have something for them. A big 👍 from us for a really lovely video. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

[@PhilipOlsen11]

Thank you so much both 🙏❤️

[@Thorkenn]

Hello Phil 👋. The place is really inviting ❤️. Love ❤️ the place looks relaxing and quite. What a stunning views from the country side. Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing your story during your hiking journey. Have a great day 👍❤️🇩🇪.

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

It is great to get out in these little villages. I've always mixed up the Llamas and Alpacas. It is nice to stop and talk to people. Not many of those old tractors in working condition. Nice video Elvis, thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend Phil.

[@PhilipOlsen11]

If only I was Elvis, I’d have a lot more subscribers than I got at the moment 😂😂😂

Hi Phil, what a lovely walk through the beautiful countryside of South Somerset. I loved seeing the animals, especially the sleeping pigs by the gate. The small villages were quaint and charming and the church and rectory were gorgeous. I can see why you enjoyed living in the area. Thanks for such a nice, relaxing vlog ❤😊

[@PhilipOlsen11]

Thank you both. Somerset really is a beautiful county. A little like Norfolk in that is main focus is farming and the villages and towns reflect that 👍❤️

[@lensmanonline]

Hi Phil hope you're well. An enjoyable virtual walk out in some beautiful countryside with stunning views. Shame you couldn't fly the drone, its would have given some great views of the windmill. Karen was originally from Somerset, lived in Highbridge. Best wishes stay safe Jon and Karen

[@PhilipOlsen11]

Thanks Jon. Well, I think Karen is from a lovely county as there is so many beautiful villages and towns in Somerset. What is also nice about Somerset is very little of it has changed. Yeah, I was gutted about the drone, but still at least I got to see it 👍 Hope you’re both well

[@thebeatentrack156]

Brilliant video Phil, that Church ceiling is amazing, they always remind me of an upturned boat, wonderful craftmanship. Chilling pigs 😊

[@morgsjoboo2247]

Hi Phil Another great video 😊 We also stop for chats when we're out walking. Love the little rabbit 😊 Love that smell of fresh cut grass, a proper smell of summer ☀️ What a lovely church Great video 😊 Have a great weekend

[@pictureperfectonyt]

lovely place 😊

[@SetForAdventures]

Amazing walk Phil great to reminisce on how things have changed ect since you lived here 👌🏻 Beautiful part of the world too (loved the old Fordson tractor 🚜) ATB Simon 🤠👍

[@PhilipOlsen11]

Thank you,Simon. It was a lot easier than the mountains but still just as pleasant a walk. I’m a real petrol head so absolutely loved seeing that old tractor. The lady asked me if I wanted to buy it. (I wish 😂) 👍

[@SetForAdventures]

@@PhilipOlsen11🚜 now that would of been cool 👌🏻

[@GENerationXplorers]

Somerset looks stunning! The Thatches look lovely! You oxi Moran getting edged in 😂 just stunning countryside! You are right getting to chat on a hike with locals is special! Ooo lovely windmill! What no access to the windmill?? Send in the drone! Oh no a no fly zone, go on be a bad boy and fly it…. Just kidding, don’t get in trouble for the sake of our viewing! We love the smell of cut grass! Lovely old church, beautifully captured! Aawww a blast from the past you worked at that farm 👍 everywhere you visit close to where you live always looks like a scene for war of the worlds 😂 (before the tripods come in 🤭) lots of lovely geese and the goats are cute too! Wildlife always makes for great viewing! Ooo pigs too! Love honesty boxes where you can purchase local goods! Lovely old looking tractor! Nice bridge In need of a twirl 😉 lovely video Phil very enjoyable throughout with great shots and nice music ❤👍

[@PhilipOlsen11]

Well his do I reply to such a wonderful comment 🤷🏻‍♂️👍❤️ Your, the only one educated enough Nick to pick up the word oxymoron 😉😂😂 I was out on a walk again yesterday and they were cutting the grass or actually gathering cut grass for bailing and the smell was amazing. Something you wish you could bottle and have one of those home diffusers 😁❤️

[@GENerationXplorers]

@@PhilipOlsen11 Aww Phil it’s actually Jill commenting but we both watched… just to confuse you 🤣😂 we thoroughly enjoy your videos in full, always so enjoyable you oxymoron 🤭🤣❤️

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

So beautiful mate. Must have been good to wander around old haunts. I never fly the drone where it’s a yellow or red zone - mind you I can’t fly it at the moment as bought an iPhone 15 and there’s no connection to my Mini 2 🙄 Another pub closed 😨. Your work must be brilliant - to sometimes be able to see your work. My Grandad was a sign writer and you can still see some of his signs around Sussex where I come from. We stayed on a farm in Somerset in the Spring. Blown away by the beauty there Another lovely vlog Phil. Just brilliant to watch on a Friday morning. Kicks off the weekend 👍👍

[@PhilipOlsen11]

Thank you Dave. You should do a little KZbin of your grandads signs as I would find that fascinated. Yes I’m it really is a beautiful county. It’s one of those counties of people forget as they drive through it to get to Devon and Cornwall or Dorset. Regarding your mini two if you still got your box, there will be a lead in there as it comes with a USB lead and an iPhone lightning lead that is interchangeable to the controller. I had the exact same issue but Don’t get out of the box that was in the cupboard 👍

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

@@PhilipOlsen11 cheers mate - no lead in the box but the iphone 15 doesnt have a lightning connector any more. I'll just have to use Sue's iphone 14

[@lifesahobby]

Nice to see the home territory. Watching in bed .
