Whisper it but Sicily is in the EU.

Sicily might be in the EU but it is an island economy and I'm happy to keep buying some Nero d'Avola red wines as I've switched away from French and Spanish reds to New World and Chilean wines.

Great place for a holiday. Where restaurants cater for locals and tourists the food is superb and the wine ain't bad either.

There's no problem getting Rye flour?

What was a problem, last year, was the harvest was badly affected by the weather. A very wet February and March, followed by a very dry Spring and early Summer, saw all manner of problems, not least for beekeepers (I had a woeful crop of honey) and my mate who runs Orchard Bay Bakery, saw his flour prices increase three times, during 2020.

He makes Rye bread every week.

Maybe not making things in the UK any more has some downsides,
cost and air miles

People hoping to spruce up their gardens, ready for when we can socialise in them again, may face problems with their seating plans due to a lack of outdoor furniture.
A combination of high demand and shipping problems is being blamed for the shortages.
Furniture giant Ikea is among the retailers experiencing supply issues.
Companies say that shipping costs to import goods from countries such as China have risen dramatically.
The Leisure and Outdoor Furniture Association, which represents 70 manufacturers and wholesalers, said all of its members are having problems with garden furniture supply.
Gina Hinde from the association said that last year its members were being charged about $1,200 to get a container over from China and Indonesia. This year, they're being charged anywhere between $7,000 and $10,000.
