I'll give you some starter when I eventually collect those forks. May have to be delivered in a sandwich bag.
Edit: not any kind of ancient delicious yeast strain or anything, just grown from the ambient floaters in my kitchen a few months ago. But it makes bread at least.

Cheers for the offer but I think she's gone to Mellis' having tracked down some obscenely expensive artisanal flour and going down that route. "Essential travel" I'm not so sure but they're open so...
I'm glad she's finding entertainment in such simple pleasures in these trying times so I feel it would be cruel of me to take that eventual satisfaction of finally hitting the right recipe away from her too...

Yeah Lidl even had a wee station to clean trollies/baskets/hands outside the shop-didn't see anyone use it but hey ho... at least they try. Their checkout staff are fully encased in plastic now which is good to see, the ones on the shop floor less so...
I got quite bad for just popping to local small shops but consciously cut it out because it's where you're more likely to get it I reckon-stocking up the freezer I manage to go 10-14 days in between supermarket trips now although the end of that period can be quite odd back of the shelf combos. My partner's also wasted about a kilo of flour unsuccessfully trying to make sourdough starters to spare bread shops, but I suppose that doubles as cheap entertainment and one day, some time, I may get a loaf out of it...
