Residents frustrated
over pipeline ‘torture’
• By Jess Gibson
HEATHCOTE Valley residents
have described a multi-million
dollar wastewater project being
undertaken outside their property
as “torture”.
THe city council is now dealing
with residents at three properties
who have been affected by phase
four of its Lyttelton Harbour
wastewater scheme.
Creag Foxton-McCulloch and
Victoria Foxton have endured
almost two-and-a-half months
of constant noise, dust, potholes,
muddy roads and groundshaking,
which they likened to
an earthquake. The couple were
never told they would have to
put up with these issues outside
their Scruttons Rd home while
contractors Fulton Hogan work to
install a pipeline at a cost of $8.3m.
The job still has at least another six
months to go.
City council services general
manager David Adamson said
the project was consulted on as a
whole in 2015 instead of on a stageby-stage
basis. He said the public
was invited to give feedback on
two options to connect Lyttelton
Harbour communities’ wastewater
to the Lyttelton Rd tunnel in 2015.

YOU HAVE to sympathise with Heathcote
Valley residents currently enduring the
noise, vibrations and shaking that goes
with a major infrastructure project (see
page 1).
Creag Foxton-McCulloch and Victoria
Foxton have gone public in Southern View to air their
frustrations over the Heathcote Valley part of the $53 million
Lyttelton pipeline.
The city council consulted with the public back in 2015 over
what lay ahead. But Creag and Victoria say they weren’t aware
what was going to happen in their part of the valley until work
started a few months ago.
The couple, and others, will unfortunately have to endure it for
another several months. Fulton Hogan, the company contracted
to do the work, isn’t responding to our questions.
No surprises there.

No progress finding MDF solution at Owaka site
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
ONGOING: A resource consent has been lodged to mix the
MDF at the Owaka site in with soil. Owaka Holdings director
Alan Edge said mixing the MDF in with soil is a “safer” option.
THE ONGOING saga to get
medium density fibre removed
from the contentious Owaka site
is in limbo.
Owaka Holdings Ltd lodged a
resource consent application to
combine about 6800m of MDF
with a similar amount of soil
to form a bund at its site on 59
Owaka Rd.
The bund is proposed to be
covered with topsoil and planted
with vegetation and grass.
If approved, the MDF would
no longer need to be removed
from the site.
The site has been a contentious
issue for years and came to a
head when the MDF spontaneously
caught alight spreading
thick smoke and taking weeks to
contain.
The city council issued Owaka
Holdings an abatement notice in
April 2015, which said all MDF
had to be removed by April 2016.
The city council did not reimpose
it after it lapsed because it
started a compliance investigation.
In April last year, the city
council threatened Environment
Court action over Owaka Holdings
Ltd failing to comply with
removing the MDF.
City council head of regulatory
compliance Tracey Weston told
Southern View this week enforcement
action is on hold pending
the outcome of the application.
The resource consent was
lodged on November 27 and city
council staff is currently waiting
on more information before
proceeding the application.
It is waiting for further information
relating to stormwater,
transmission lines, contamination
and approval from Orion,
which is adjacent to the site.
Ms Weston said the last
notification the city council
received regarding the MDF
being removed was between the
period of January-May, 2017.
So far, 539.49 tonnes have been
removed.
In April last year, a city
council investigation found the
stockpiles of MDF were not permitted
by the District Plan and
not authorised by a resource
consent. MDF is an engineered
wood product made by breaking
down hardwood or softwood
residuals.
Owaka Holdings director
Alan Edge said he thinks the
proposal is a safer option.
When asked by Southern View
if the proposal would save the
company the expense of removing
the MDF from the site, Mr
Edge said “not really.”
“The amount of money the
consultants and scientists have
done on the MDF has not been
cheap,” he said.
The Owaka site has been
a contentious issue with the
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board for years.
But city councillor Jimmy
Chen, board chairman Mike
Mora and deputy chairwoman
Helen Broughton were unaware
the resource consent had been
lodged.
Mrs Broughton said she only
found out because she kept asking
council staff for updates on
the removal of the MDF.
“We were promised a briefing
every two months and we
haven’t had any briefings . . . I
got told there was no need for a
briefing because it was no longer
an issue of the MDF being taken
away.”
Mrs Broughton said she was
concerned because she thought
the MDF was being taken away
and it is not.
Cr Chen said he has not seen
a copy of the resource consent
but is trusting city council
planners will follow the process
to determine the safety of the
proposal. An assessment of
environmental effects found
the proposal had considerable
positive effects in providing an
on-site solution to the MDF
material.
Orion, which is adjacent to
the site, was consulted on the
proposal. Its works delivery
manager Anthony O’Donnell
said Orion was concerned
about stormwater run-off
entering their property. Orion
is in ongoing discussions about
matters raised in the proposed
plans.

No objections to ownership
change at Henry’s Hornby
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
NO OBJECTIONS have been
lodged against a liquor store
application which is located in
the same complex as a Work and
Income office in Hornby.
Skudar Ltd lodged
the new application for
the current off-licence
Henrys Hornby on 21
Shands Rd. The new
application is sought
due to a change of
ownership at the site.
The store is currently
operating under
Imperial Discount
Liquor Ltd.
If approved, it would operate
Monday-Sunday, 8am-10pm,
under the name of Henry’s BWS
Hornby.
The application received
mixed views at the Greater
Hornby Residents’ Association
meeting recently due to the store
being located a few doors down
from Work and Income.
Chairman Marc Duff said he
hadn’t heard of any problems
as a result of the store’s location
before, and it “doesn’t really
stick out that it is there.”
“I think if it was a new liquor
store you would see a stronger
community feeling . . . I think I
Marc Duff
Loss of income and damage concern to property
•From page 1
However, regardless of outcome,
the plan to lay a pipeline through
Heathcote and Woolston would
have remained the same.
“We’re addressing each
complaint individually and
working with our contractor
to find a solution for residents.
Complaints are followed up with
emails or phone calls from the
project manager and face-to-face
engagement with the contractor,”
Mr Adamson said.
Mr Foxton-McCulloch, who is
the ex-chairman of the Heathcote
Valley Community Association,
was not aware of the consultation
or the drop-in session in 2015.
would have a stronger
view if it wasn’t a renewal
but it is a renewal so it is a bit
different.”
Member Mark Peters said the
close proximity of the store to
the Work and Income office,
operated by the Ministry
of Social Development,
was “unfortunate.”
“It is a one-stop shop.
You go in and get your
benefit and then you
wander into a liquor
store. That is not really an
ideal situation,” he said.
But he said he
decided not to make an
objection.
This is because when a new
licence application is made
due to a change of ownership,
the suitability of the licensee
is the only ground in what an
objection can be made.
Mr Peters said he is in two
minds because Henry’s is
operated by Foodstuffs South
Island Ltd – and is probably one
of the better liquor stores.
But a location such as
The Hub Hornby may have been
more appropriate, he said.
MSD regional commissioner
Shane Carter would not
comment on the application.
The only mention of Scruttons
Rd in the consultation document
was to say that the pipeline would
be installed there, as well as in
Godley, Simeon, Norwich and
Gladstone Quays and Port Hills,
and Ferry Rds. It did not mention
anything about disruption to
nearby properties during the
installation of the pipeline.
The city council received 44
submissions in response to the
consultation, five opposed the
project and there was no mention
of Scruttons Rd.
Instead, Mr Foxton-
McCulloch said he found out
about the work which was going
to be done when he saw people
Fine Wine and Spirits
store gets green light

In an email to the city council,
Mr Foxton-McCulloch said “the
appalling lack of communication
between the city council, those

Mr Foxton-McCulloch and Ms
Foxton have had to temporarily
shut their home-based business

ongoing disturbance, resulting in
a “massive loss of income.”

He is also concerned over the

Eyesore could soon be demolished
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A LONG-TERM eyesore
in Sockburn could soon be
demolished.
The city council is undertaking
asbestos surveys at the old
Sockburn Service Centre to determine
the extent of the asbestos
removal required to allow for the
demolition to go ahead.
City council’s
head of facilities, property and
planning Bruce Rendall said a
final date for the service centre
will not be known until the
extent of the asbestos removal is
known.
The former service centre,
on Main South Rd, has been a
source of tension for years with
residents unhappy with the state
of the site.
It was closed in 2012 due to
earthquake damage and has been
vacant ever since.
Greater Hornby Residents’
Association chairman Marc
Duff said it is encouraging
to hear the city council is making
progress by looking at the
asbestos.
He said it is understandable
the city council wants to undertake
asbestos testing to make
sure the building has a safe
demolition.
It comes as the city council
demolished the old Sockburn
VTNZ building and storage shed
last month.
Mr Duff said it was really
positive the city council had
made progress in bringing the
old Sockburn VTNZ building
down.
Currently, the service centre is
covered in graffiti, the windows
are smashed and others are
boarded up.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board chairman
Mike Mora said he is hoping the
building can come down as soon
as possible.
A year ago, a report went to the
board recommending the city
council retain the land, but not
the building.
Mr Rendall said there have
been no changes since then and
the land will be used for water
supply and recreation.

UN youth trip for Villa Maria head girl
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
ONE OF the biggest messages
Villa Maria College’s head girl
Eadaoin Roughan tries to pass
onto her fellow students is to
“give everything a try”.
“Giving it a go won’t hurt
anyone, you can only grow and
learn from it,” she said.
So while Eadaoin, 17, didn’t
know a lot about the United
Nations Youth New Zealand’s
Global Development Tour 2020,
she decided to take her own
advice by applying for the trip.
She is now one of 22 students
from across the country selected
for a month-long tour of Europe
and New York to learn about the
UN’s Sustainable Development
Goals in action.
Eadaoin has been chosen
alongside Lincoln High School’s
Maria Mendoza Nieto and
Sujean In of St Margaret’s
College.
The tour, which begins in
January, will see the delegation
travel to London, Rome, Vienna,
Berlin and Paris.
The Sustainable Development
Goals are the UN’s blueprint
addressing global challenges
including poverty, inequality,
climate, environmental
degradation and justice.
On the tour, the delegation
will meet with policy-makers,
non-profit organisations and
other institutions critical in
the formation of achieving the
goals.
Eadaoin said she was happy,
excited and overwhelmed when
she found out she was chosen.
“Just the thought of being
able to go across the world to see
how countries work with
the Sustainable Development
Goals was mind-blowing,” she
said.
Eadaoin said she is most
looking forward to attending
the Columbia Model United
Nations Conference and
Exposition in New York – one of
the leading UN conferences in
the high school circuit.
Eadaoin said she decided to
apply after a friend of hers asked
her to go to a talk on the tour.
“Although there were
only seven days left be the
registration closed, I thought
why not try, I’m not going to
lose anything major if I try, I
could gain so much,” she said.
Having a passion for serving
her community, Eadaoin helps
feed the homeless on a Sunday
at the Oxford Terrace Baptist
Church.
She said the thing she loves
most about being head girl
is listening to other student’s
stories or concerns to see how
she can help them.
“Even if it is small, I love how
they can approach me and tell
me anything”.
Next year, Eadaoin plans
to study at biochemistry at
university, but this could change
when she returns from the tour.
BRIGHT FUTURE: Villa Maria
College head girl Eadaoin
Roughan has been selected
to take part in the United
Nations Youth New Zealand’s
Global Development Tour
2020 next year.

NEW HOME: Wainoni Avonside Community Services Trust
co-ordinator Betty Chapman outside the trust’s new home
behind the Burwood Christian Centre.
New home found for
community group
• By Matt Slaughter
THE WAINONI Avonside
Community Services Trust has
found its new home.
The trust will move from its
old headquarters at Wainoni
Methodist Church on Avonside
Drive to the second floor of a
newly constructed, two-storey
building behind the Burwood
Christian Centre at 52 Bassett St.
Trust co-ordinator Betty
Chapman said it hoped to move
in by the end of August, but this
would happen after a lift was
installed to help members who
struggled with stairs.
Mrs Chapman said she had
been searching for a new site for
the trust for more than a year.
Earlier this year, Land Information
New Zealand decided
the earthquake-damaged, leaky
Wainoni Methodist Church site
was unsafe to work in.
It was originally thought the
trust would move into All Saints
Anglican Church in Burwood,
but Mrs Chapman said the rent
would have been too expensive.
“They put the rent up to $300,
plus power, plus phone. We
couldn’t afford that.”
The rent at its new site will cost
the same as it did at Wainoni
Methodist Church, $200 a week.
In spite of securing a new site
meaning the trust’s future was
safe, Mrs Chapman said moving
would be hard on the about 200
people who used its services and
attended its events.
The trust’s new headquarters is
only a short distance from its old
one, but she still expected the
move would result in the loss of
some members.
“It is hard because the elderly
don’t like change . . . they don’t
want to shift.
“It’s hard on elderly to move.”
The trust has been operating
out of Wainoni Methodist
Church for more than 17 years
and Mrs Chapman said some
were struggling with the idea of
leaving.
However, a visit to the new site
on Wednesday had seen reluctant
members change their tune.
“Everyone’s finding it hard.
“But, yesterday after the walk
through, I got a lot of positive
vibes, so I’m quite relieved.”
She said, ultimately, it would
be great to be in a building that
didn’t leak.
Wainoni Methodist Church

Cycleway plan
changes after
consultation
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES have
been made to the South Express
Major Cycle Route after the city
council received more than 600
submissions on the proposal.
City council staff are recommending
amendments based on
public feedback, including providing
more car-parking, connecting
with the Selwyn District
Council’s planned shared path
and introducing a slow speed
zone along Matipo St.
City council transport planning
and delivery manager
Lynette Ellis said: “We received
a lot of detailed feedback on the
route and have made a lot of
changes to address the concerns
and opportunities raised by the
community”.
Of the 642 public submissions
received, 49 per cent of submitters
supported the cycleway, 23
per cent supported it but had
specific feedback which needed
further consideration, and 23 per
cent opposed the cycleway.
Hearings for the cycleway were
scheduled to begin yesterday.
Alternative designs are
proposed on Elizabeth St, Lochee
Rd, Craven St, Taggart Pl and on
bus stops around the intersection
of Buchanans Rd and Hei Hei
Rd.
GROUND-BREAKING: Richmond Working Men’s Club president Chris Taylor starts the final stage of the rebuild.
Workingmen’s club rebuild continues
• By Claire Booker
WORK ON the final stage of
the $12.9 million rebuild of the
earthquake-damaged Richmond
Working Men’s Club has started.
Club president Chris Taylor
broke the ground with a ceremonial
spade last week before
construction workers moved in
to start the project.
Work will be finished in July
next year.
The final stage of the construction
will be a new function venue
that will accommodate weddings,
corporate dinners, show
events and other functions.
The completed complex
will have three high-grade
squash courts, a new restaurant
and bistro, a TAB terminal and
game room, and plenty of parking.
The first part of the rebuild is
finished, so the club is open for
meetings and events.
Mr Taylor has been the president
of the club for the last three
years and has been a member of
the committee for 17 years.
“It’s been a long road, but we’re
finally under way,” he said.
Cook Brothers Construction
won the bid for the construction
of the project after going through
the robust tender process which
was run by the club.
The design of the new
clubroom was decided by way
of input and discussions which
involved all club members as well

as the committee.
The Richmond club, which has
been around for more than 100
years, is one of the oldest clubs
in New Zealand and it is hoped
that the new design will blow its
members away.
The plan for the club is to
secure its future with strong
strategies around its food and
beverage offerings, with a
focus on the local community
and perhaps targeting a wider
demographic.

HEALTH & AWARENESS
Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or
could it be mainly my muscles?
The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with
a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and
senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests
that a major part of the pain could be due
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason
for the pain may be the muscles around
the joint,” she explains. The images show
how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back
muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain
are the red areas in the drawings), a knot
in a muscle on the back of the shoulder
blade can give a deep pain in the front of
the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way
near the groin can give an ache in the knee
(especially at night in bed).
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year
old client with severe arthritis who walked
with a stick, told her, “I will end up in
a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight
through my right leg due to pain in my hip
and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she
was walking with her stick but without the
severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was
one of the factors that made her muscles
spasm but the other was that older people
move less and the flexed position the hip
is in when we sit is particularly bad for
the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that
although the client was 89 and could have
been “given up on” or told to live with the
pain, she made a difference to her health
and wellbeing.
The same lack of movement can be the
reason for your knee pain or your shoulder
pain and the same few treatments could
make a huge difference for you.
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation
techniques) are used to release the muscles.
The client also gets a home exercise
program designed to mobilize and stretch
the joint, strengthen the important core
muscles and increase general strength and
SHOULDER
PAIN
KNEE PAIN
balance. They teach a movement sequence
that stretches the joint in all directions
whilst the client is able to lie safely on their
bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.
In many cases having the muscles
released and being taught how to maintain
it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.
HIP PAIN
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,
some maintenance therapy may be
necessary, but that is often more affordable
and, for older patients, better tolerated than
surgery. In very few treatments the client
will know if it is going to work for them or
not, without financial commitment.
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the door and there is ample
parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

Teens show circus skills
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Matt Slaughter
TEENAGE CIRCUS performers
have wowed crowds.
The Christchurch Circus Trust
put on three performances of
Circus Berserkus at Roy Stokes
Hall in New Brighton, with 14
performers showing off their
skills.
Producer Chris Carrow
said the performers rehearsed
for about four months to put
the show together and were
supported by two backstage
crew members during the
shows.
He said a range of talents were
showcased and enjoyed by about
500 audience members over
three nights.
The shows included aerial
acrobatics, balancing acts,
contortion, juggling and
clowning.
Said Mr Carrow: “We had
some people say, you’re better
than Cirque du Soleil.”
“Sometimes, you would say
well, a local circus, it’s just going
to be something high schoolish,
but we surpass that.”
Mr Carrow said those
involved in Circus Berserkus
had done more than just improve
their skills as performers by
taking part.
“Because most of them have
been together for a while, there’s
a bit of a family sort of feel
around the troop.
“They’re really supportive
of each other and because of
that the performance comes
together as this really joyful
experience.”
Most of the performers have
been involved with the trust
for three to four years and have
performed in other shows.
Mr Carrow said in spite of the
difficult skills they demonstrated,
most people could learn to do
them with practice.

National tournament for Cashmere students
• By Jacob Page
CASHMERE HIGH School
hockey player, Matthew Fairhall
continues to prove he is a talent
for the future by being the only
year 9 player named in the
Canterbury under-15 team for
their national tournament in
September.
The 14-year-old will head to
Whangarei after making the
team following five weeks of
trials.
“I really hoped I would make
it, but knew I was pretty young
at the same time, but when I
found out I had made it, it really
felt like I’d achieved something,”
he said.
Matthew had made the year
7 and 8 Canterbury Hatch
Cup team in previous years,
alongside Cashmere teammate
Hamish Sherratt making the
Canterbury B team which will
travel to Wanganui at the same
time.
Matthew, who plays centre
half said he felt he was suited to
the position.
“I try be a very determined
player on the turf, I’ve been told
I’m a good dispatcher of the ball
and that I can use my vision to
free up other players around
me.”
Matthew said he first
remembers playing the sport
in a six-a-side team at the old
Rangi Ruru Turf as a six-yearold.
SPORT
“It’s great because I still play
with some of my mates from
that far back in year 2,” he said.
He said his aim at the
tournament would be to do his
main role well while limiting
mistakes.
“Overall, I want to enjoy the
experience and improve my
game as much as I can.”
Cashmere coach Chez Parore
said both players deserved the
recognition.
Matthew is a very dedicated
player and Hamish has
persevered and shown what he
is capable of,” he said.
TALENT: Cashmere High
School hockey players
Hamish Sherratt and
Matthew Fairhall will
represent Canterbury at
age-group level at national
tournaments in September.
Technical
girls team
beaten in
penalty
shootout
THE CASHMERE Technical
Blue 12 grade girls team
finished second at the Alan
Fraser Memorial tournament
at Kaiapoi’s Kendall Park.
The two-day tournament
hosted by the Waimakiriri
Football Club is an annual
fixture and draws teams from
as far north as Nelson and as
far south as Dunedin.
The team were runners-up
to Dunedin’s Green Island.
The team cruised through
pool play with a 7-0 win over
Waimakiriri United, a 6-0 win
over Parklands and a 6-0 win
over Waitaki.
They were able to overcome
FC Nelson in their semi-final
however, the final with Green
Island, went to a penalty shoot
out.
After an entertaining
and even final, Cashmere
Technical’s Savannah Olsen
was named the golden boot
winner for the tournament
while Caitlin Oregan was
named the team’s most
valuable player.
Many services provided for families
through Plunket
Garden maintenance is carried out
by volunteers at Plunket clinics, but
more are needed.
For families with young children, getting help and support from people
with knowledge and expertise can be a hugely beneficial, for both
parents and children.
The Royal New Zealand Plunket Trust offers a variety of services for children
under five and their whanau, from Well Child appointments with one of their
highly qualified and friendly Plunket Nurses through to Playgroups and
Parenting Education classes.
What most people don’t realise is that Plunket, a non-for-profit
organisation, is only partially funded through a contract with the Ministry
of Health. Other financial support comes from the generosity of grants
and donations from the community and fund-raising activities.
Plunket provides a number of Community Services, which rely on money
from fundraising, grants and donations, with a dedicated team of staff and
volunteers. While administered and led at a Canterbury Area level, these
Community Services are run for and by the communities where they are
based, responding directly to community need.
Through Community Services, services for families are provided for free
or at a minimal cost. They include:
Helping out at a working bee at the
Papanui Merivale Plunket grounds.
• Parenting Education (PEPE)
• Toddler groups such
as ‘Toes and Giggles’
• Coffee/Support/Parent Groups
• Playgroups
• Toy Libraries
Can you help?
Plunket is currently looking for volunteers to help support with some
maintenance of their properties, such as mowing lawns, maintaining a
garden, painting a fence or the odd handy-man job like fixing something
to the wall.
For example, there are two retired ladies that enjoy a catch-up while
doing a bit of gardening at a local Plunket clinic, where staff say it is a
‘win-win’ for both them and Plunket.
If you know of anyone, from an able and willing retiree to a local Service
Group that could help out, Plunket would be grateful if you would
pass this on to them. For anyone who is interested or would like more
information please phone or text Rebecca on 021 713 692.

Sweet as: Appreciating the kumara
Of all the
wonderful
vegetables we
have available
to us, kumara –
or sweet potato
as its known
in other parts
of the world – would have
to be a favourite for Kiwis.
Deanna Copland provides
an example of a hearty
winter soup, which is sure to
please
Spiced kumara soup with
almonds
Ingredients
2 Tbsp coconut oil
6-8 medium kumara, ends
removed, scrubbed and grated
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
Sea salt and black pepper
1-litre chicken or vegetable stock
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
½ cup natural flaked almonds
2 Tbsp dukkah
Directions
Heat a tablespoon of coconut
oil in a large pot over high heat.
Add the kumara, garlic, cumin,
coriander, salt and pepper and
cook, stirring, for 5min or until
the kumara has softened.
Add the stock and almond
milk. Cover and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat to medium and
cook for 15min until the soup
has reduced slightly.
While the soup is cooking,
heat the remaining oil in a small
fry pan over high heat. Add the
almonds and dukkah and cook,
stirring until golden and crisp.
Divide the soup among four
bowls and top with the almond
mixture.
Serve with a slice of crusty
pumpkin seed sourdough for the
ultimate winter meal.
Enjoy a healthy salad with
your kumara. For this recipe,
soak your spelt overnight
ready to eat the following
evening. Perfect eaten warm,
this salad also keeps well
in the fridge for a couple of
days, so save those leftovers
for weekday lunches
Roasted carrot, pearled
spelt and orange salad
Ingredients
1 red onion, chopped
300g baby carrots, greens intact
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus
extra for drizzling
200g (1 cup) dry spelt (soaked
overnight in cold water)
1 medium orange
2 generous handfuls of kale,
finely shredded
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
6 whole dried figs, finely chopped
A fistful of crushed roasted
Hazelnuts
Sea salt and cracked
Black pepper
Directions
Heat the oven to 200 deg C.
Place the red onion on a baking
tray with the carrots (greens
removed and set aside) and a
drizzle of olive oil. Season with
salt and pepper and roast for
20min.
Once the carrots and red
onion have gone into the oven,
thoroughly rinse the soaked spelt
and boil over a medium heat for
20min as well.
Grate the zest from the orange
and set aside. Squeeze the juice
from the orange.
Place the shredded kale in a
large bowl along with the two
tablespoons of olive oil, apple
cider vinegar and orange juice,
massaging it into the kale for
5min.
Add the cooked spelt, roasted
carrots and onion and carrot
greens to the bowl with the kale.
Toss in the orange zest, finely
chopped dried figs and crushed
hazelnuts. Give everything a
good mix and feel free to season
further with cracked black
pepper and sea salt, before
drizzling with a little extra olive
oil.

bathroom, while a basement carpark
and storage locker ensure the utmost
practicality. Lift access and shared use of
a beautifully landscaped garden elevate
this property to an exceptional standard.
