I'd try the dark web, but the flour is probably cut with a more readily available powder :lol:

Better having too much flour than none though Al.

My local supermarket seem to have more chance of bread mixes in stock now but still no flour.  Made a nice Rye loaf yesterday to finish for lunch today, and will do a Donker tomorrow.  No issues with cheese supplies, and bread and cheese is good as cake in my (possibly controversial) opinion.

Don't dis the cheese!

 

Fortunately I have several bakeries and several cheese shops within walking distance.  As a farmers son I've never been keen on towns but I have to say I can see the attraction of living within walking distance of food shops and restaurants. :D

 

Besides, the Mrs has just used a chunk of our remaining supply of normal flour :wub:

Looks very appetising Chris.  I can see the attraction of getting married. :D

 

I do like cheese too, a nice roule and lots of ritz biscuits is my current addiction.
