How hard is it to live in an ethical way?
In this section we take up challenges to check out the pros and cons of a little lifestyle change.
Week Sixteen: Ethics in the unknown...
Lots of pain and trauma later and we have now all moved. But this brings new problems... how do you recycle in a new place, were are the local markets, right light bulbs and buses.
Whose going to find out first...

Ollie is technically still only half moved (aka living in Susie's living room for two weeks) so he can probably cheat and ask her...
Monday
Well after only a brief period venturing around my new digs I did manage to work out were the bottle store was.
Yes just across the street from home along with a fantastic Jamaican bakery tasty Akee and Saltfish with some killer dumplings complete with a lovely lady who calls everyone darling and sounds profoundly like she really means it.
Tonight though Ollie will delve deep into the markets of Peckham rye stay tuned......
Tuesday
Bounding of the train I was eager to explore the treasure trove of local fare to be had in the Peckham area. It was gonna be a hard test as I was holding it up against the Brixton's infamous Electric Avenue markets. Which in my opion is by far the best fresh markets not just for produce but for atmosphere and crazy random people.
Anyway I set out to get the ingredients for a Vege Dal I was out to make that evening and yes sireeeeee I was impressed.
Lots of variety, fresh, cheap and with a few quirky characters thrown into the mix as well. This boy was happy!!
The rumbling in my bottomless stomach prevented me from further adventures but I will be back to explore in depth in the very near future.
Wednesday
Thursday
Not staying at home tonight somewhat impeded my chances of local exploration, but the weekends coming and i am gonna be all over this hood!!
Friday
Feeling inspired to cook something new and exciting so it's going to be down to the markets after work to manhandle the vegetables with the old Ladies and haggle the price of cumquat's, can't wait!

Susie is super keen to start afresh. Almost too keen. Basically she is over excited like a child with ADD. It's frightening!
Monday
Called the council and recylcing bins are on the way. Woo hoo.
No shower yet but trying to save on water by using the old - chuck a jug of water over yourself - technique rather than having a full bath.
So much fun. Basically like being a child!
Tuesday
Hmmm - not sure it is great that the washing machine takes 2 hours to do a quick spin.... might need to get the instructions out again before wasting too much water!
Wednesday
Not much good but not much bad either going on today. Still too all over the place to locate the tupperware and make a packed lunch.
Was going to steal some of Ol's left over daal but - erm - well - it made me ballon up so I looked like I was pregnant so thought maybe not...
Was super tasty though Ol!!
Thursday
No idea what happened.. that was yesterday I think... it was a long day - I had to go to Hatton. Nice to see the countryside though.

Lara's plumbing broke on Saturday night. Not a good start but it may sneak her into the lead re. water conservation...
Monday
ME!! I AM!!! Considering I have moved ten minutes up the road from where we were before, it is all exactly the same and i know everything, all of it, done and dusted, ask me anything and just give me the gold cup now! woo hoo.
Hmmm may have made this challenge a bit easy for La... will have to think up some questions... any ideas? - Susie
