Putting aside the intense wind and the noise from party boats during the summer, living by the river is actually amazing.
There’s always something interesting to see, even if it’s just the changing of the tides or watching the river taxis and police launches zip up and down.
But today, we had something a little more special. The HMNLS Holland, a first of its class offshore patrol vessel from the Royal Netherlands Navy. It was guided past our building by a very large tugboat and actually seemed to be moving quite fast for such a big vessel in such a busy stretch of the river.
Now I’ll have to do some research to find out why it’s here!
