Questions Nobody Asks: What is this thing for?

Questions Nobody Asks: What’s this thing?

By

This video is part of our You Ask, We Answer series, where we address common questions about Woodfarm Barns & Barges to help you make the most of your stay. Whether you’re planning a cosy getaway in one of our Suffolk Barns or a unique waterside retreat aboard our Dutch Barges, we’re here to provide all the details you need. In this episode, we’ll be covering the question that nobody ever asks: What’s this thing?, so let’s dive in!

 

Hello, here I am aboard Onderneming at Snape Maltings, and this video is all about the question that nobody ever asks: What’s this thing?

I’ve got to be slightly careful because I had a mishap with a finger recently – so there we go. Look, I’ve gone horribly wrong on film as well!

Anyway, the question that nobody ever asks is: What is this thing for?

I’ve got to be honest – I do now know. But when I first got it, I had no idea. I can’t even remember how we got it. I think someone left it here or gifted it to us. Apologies if you’re watching and I should have taken more notice! But there we go – what is this for? That’s the question nobody ever asks.

So feel free to ask us some questions that you don’t think anyone is ever likely to ask, and we’ll do our best to answer them! You can do that in the comments, via WhatsApp, phone, or email – all the usual ways.

Please do subscribe to our YouTube channel for more interesting videos – well, more interesting than this! You know what I mean.

And also, if you head to the homepage of our website, scroll down to the bottom, and pop in your details, you can subscribe to our newsletter. That way, I can keep you updated on what’s going on in Suffolk and Tuscany, what’s happening with our Barges, what’s going on at the Barns, and also let you know about any competitions, cancellations, and last-minute availability.

Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you on the next one of these questions nobody asks!

Still didn’t chop my finger off – brilliant!

If you love a good deal, you’re in the right place. Every now and then, we have last-minute availability that we discount, meaning you could grab yourself a fantastic break at an even better price. But don’t hang around – once they’re gone, they’re gone!
