Given the rain there has been in Europe you shouldn't have the
unfortunate experience somebody else I know had. There wasn't enough
water in the river for the boat to take them so they had a series of
hotels, which meant unpacking and packing each day rather than relaxing
in their own cabin on the boat.

Which New London is that? A colleague from a neighbouring parish moved
to New London, NG but I guess it is too small for the workshop you mention.
