Every year we try to make a trip to the tulip fields around the Keukenhof in Lisse. It’s very impressive to see all the beautiful colours of the flowers.

This year in 2020, the start of the quarantine in the Netherlands directly coincided with tulips harvest season. Many of the farmers cut down their tulips to try and keep local visitors away trying to keep the infection from spreading amongst the communities.

Due to their being no tulips growing when the quarantine ended, we found ourselves in a lonely hyacinth field instead.
