I bought a hot pepper plant for my husband last week (late season, but it has many peppers waiting to ripen) so I'm going to try making a sriracha style sauce. That's exciting it's producing so much!
I am not a city girl at all. That was my least favorite part of living in London, drunks at all hours and constant traffic. I feel like I belong in the countryside. If my husbands parents weren't South I'd probably try to move toward the peak district.

Yeah, we were watching a show on the Pyrenees today, up in the clouds and the forest. It looked divine. SO if they throw us out, there's some place to explore, for sure. Assuming it hasn't burnt up, too....
The peppers. I am surprised how well they are doing. We have a small fish tank. Two or three times a week I empty about 3,000ml of gross fish tank water (suctioning the gravel clean) and use it on the plants. They just took off after I started doing that. I've basically got a massive japeno bush on one windowsill, and the rest are in a long planter and one other pot, and they are all doing well. If memory serves, the Birdseye chili plant that made the string of woahhot peppers that is in my pantry I got from Waitrose for like a pound. I just transplanted it and stuck it in the sun and it went nuts. Didn't make it the winter, though, sadly. I think it got too cold - am ready for that this year. So be sure to harvest those peppers - the more you harvest, the more it'll probably make.
Good luck on the siracha. I'm pre-emptively trying to sort out how to replace my garlic-and-chili sauce that I have sent over, in case it gets more difficult to get. I use that stuff in all my Tex Mex.
