Birdlife concerns raised 

over pathway proposal 

• By Matt Slaughter 

BIRDLIFE WILL be harmed if a 

pathway is built along the western 

edge of the Avon-Heathcote Ihutai 

Estuary, groups say. 

The city council may consider options 

for an alternative route. 

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary 

Ihutai Trust and Redcliffs Residents 

Association are opposing the city 

council’s proposal to extend its 360 

walking and cycle trail along the 

estuary edge beside the Bromley 

oxidation ponds. 

Both groups have raised their 

concerns with the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board. 

Estuary trust chairman Kit 

Doudney said the estuary is home 

to about 100 bird species and has 

recently been made part of the East 

Asian-Australasian Flyway. This 

means migratory birds which use 

the estuary, such as the bar-tailed 

godwit are protected. 

But Mr Doudney said constructing 

the proposed pathway will put 

godwits and other bird species in 

jeopardy. 

Said Mr Doudney: “The problem 

with the pathway incurring into a 

wildlife refuge is that the wildlife 

suffers from incursion of humans 

and often their companion animals 

such as dogs and on occasions, in 

this case, horses, on the estuary bed.

Mystery odour causing a stink 


A MYSTERIOUS odour 

coming from a Cashmere 

retirement village was reported 

to Environment Canterbury 62 

times last year. 

The smell is believed to be 

coming from the laundry of 

Bupa Cashmere View Care 

Home and Retirement Village 

on Rose St. 

Nearby 

residents’ 

have been 

concerned 

for some time

2019. 

However, in the same year, 

ECan also trialled a web-based

and there were 58 reports.

Ms Hamilton said solutions

“The retirement village

“We continue to engage with

Veterinary practice 

Brain tumour in a cat 

This is a remarkable story where an 13 

year old Norwegian Forest cat “ Sashenka” 

was diagnosed via CT imaging of having 

a brain tumour, “Meningioma” and 

successfully had surgery two weeks ago 

in a specialist hospital in Auckland to 

remove the tumour. Never in 30 years 

of being a vet have I had a client willing 

to proceed to surgery to remove a brain 

tumour in their pet, plus she survived and 

is thriving. She’s one very lucky cat with 

incredibly caring owners who wanted the 

best possible outcome for their precious 

cat. 

Sashenka first presented just before 

Christmas being a bit “off” - more 

clingy, vocalising more, seeming to 

have trouble going up and down stairs, 

difficulty navigating obstacles, seeming 

disorientated, scratching the wooden 

floor boards, pacing, kneading and off 

balance sometimes. She was a cat always 

up a tree and she stopped doing this. 

She wasn’t chasing her treats and started 

walking in circles. She was never seen 

seizuring though and continued eating. 

We examined Sashenka and ran an 

extensive array of blood and urine tests, 

X-rays and ultrasound examinations. We 

saw her 15 times in about three weeks. 

All testing was basically normal. We tried 

different medications and she stayed in 

the hospital on IV fluids but we couldn’t 

get a of handle on her diagnosis and 

there was no improvement at home. Her 

owner saw a different Sashenka than the 

cat we saw at the clinic. 

We consulted the services of Feline 

consultants and specialists but she was 

deteriorating quickly, having difficulty 

eating and appeared dull and not 

responsive to her owners at times. Steroid 

injections showed improvement but her 

bizarre behaviours did wax and wane 

with her worse clinical symptom being 

close to comatosed. We decided to CT 

Sashenka to find out what was really 

going on. We offer MRI (Forte Health) 

and CT (Pacific Radiology at Lincoln) 

at McMaster & Heap. The patients are 

sedated and the images taken from 

very fancy expensive computors. It’s 

painless for the pet and can give us many 

answers that other means of testing 

can’t deliver. The radiologist diagnosed 

Sashenka with a large intracranial brain 

lesion , most probably a meningioma. 

Other differentials included a glioma or 

astrocytoma. 

We consulted an experienced surgical 

team in Auckland who were keen to take 

over her case. After lengthy discussions 

with the owners it was decided to push 

forward with brain surgery, so Sashenka 

and her devoted owners headed to 

Auckland. Brain surgery isn’t a walk in the 

park and more tests had to be carried 

out on Sashenka. She was getting very 

used to needles now and thermometers?? 

She had an MRI before the surgery and a 

CT after the surgery to confirm position 

of the titanium screws used to secure 

her cranium back in place. She received 

a blood transfusion on the day of the 

surgery and had an oesophageal feeding 

tube placed so that we were able to 

supply her nutritionally post surgery, in 

case she didn’t feel like eating. Once the 

tumour was removed it measured 2.6cm x 

3cm x 1.2cm - quite sizeable. She made an 

excellent recovery from her anaesthetic 

and stayed in the specialist hospital to be 

closely monitored for a few days. 

She had very specific discharge 

instructions including cage confinement 

for four weeks (an impossible requirement 

for Sashenka), physiotherapy on her 

back muscles and legs and medications 

including steroids, pain relief and 

antibiotics. Catherine has seen her 

recently and she appears to be doing 

really well - she even escaped her cage 

and was seen running up a tree - her 

favourite place to be, a birds eye view of 

life. 

Day 1 after the surgery. 

The tumour may grow back and 

Catherine is exploring chemotherapy 

options but for now Sashenka has her full, 

active life back again which is great news 

for everybody. She may pave the way in 

the future for other patients with brain 

tumours. Thank you to Sashenkas mum 

and dad for allowing me to write this 

article on her.

More police to 

respond 

to break-ins 


POLICE WILL increase 

patrols across south 

Christchurch after a spike 

in the number of vehicles 

being broken into. 

Detective Senior Sergeant 

Damon Wells said 

vehicle break-ins have 

been increasing throughout 

this area, particularly 

in Halswell but did not say 

by how much. 

“We don’t have statistics 

available at this time but 

anecdotally have seen an 

increase.” 

Detective Senior Sergeant 

Wells did not say 

how many police officers 

will be patrolling the areas 

or how many hours they 

will devote a week. 

“For operational 

reasons, we’re not able to 

share specific detail on 

police resourcing,” he 

said. 

Halswell Residents’ Association 

secretary David 

Hawke said he is not 

aware of the recent spike 

in vehicle break-ins in the 

area but it is good police 

are responding to this if it 

is an issue. 

Said Mr Hawke: “I guess 

from a general statement, 

our expectation is that 

they [police] respond to 

the level of the problem.” 

Mr Hawke hopes increased 

patrols will also 

lead to police reducing 

the number of speeding 

vehicles driving through 

Halswell, which the 

residents’ association has 

SAFER: Police patrols will increase in south 

Christchurch, particularly Halswell, to address an 

increase in vehicle break-ins. 

raised as a concern in the 

past. 

“I guess the interest 

we’ve had more recently 

was more police patrols to 

enforce speed limits.” 

He said police appeared 

to be doing a good job 

of slowing down drivers 

since speed was raised as 

a concern by the association. 

He believes increased 

patrols could help reduce 

speeding in the area even 

further. 

Said Detective Senior 

Sergeant Wells: “Police 

patrolling in the area 

will perform a number of 

tasks, including providing 

prevention advice and responding 

to any offending 

that takes place.” 

Meanwhile, police 

would like to remind 

residents of measures they 

can take to make their 

vehicle less appealing to 

thieves. 

Police ask residents to 

help deter burglars by 

not leaving valuables or 

documents with personal 

information in vehicles, 

parking in well-lit areas, 

locking vehicles and taking 

keys with them. 

Boats or vehicles should 

be disabled so they can’t 

be moved or towed away 

and locked in secure 

garages. People are also 

urged to keep in contact 

with neighbours. 

Tradies are encouraged 

to get their tools engraved 

with their driver licence 

number and secure them 

inside vehicles with chains 

and padlocks.

Another board decision delayed 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

HALSWELL-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board chairman 

Mike Mora has told his fellow 

board members to “grow some 

whatevers and actually make a 

decision on the board.” 

The outburst was during a 

debate at the board’s public 

meeting recently over whether 

some yellow 

lines should 

be painted on 

three residential 

streets in 

Halswell. 

City council 

Mike Mora 

Mark Peters 

staff had 

recommended 

no stopping 

restrictions were 

installed on 

parts of Bronco 

Drive, Bibiana 

St and Stallion 

Ave. 

But now an 

overhaul of the 

original report on the parking 

restrictions is in motion after 

concerns from board members 

not enough public consultation 

on the proposal was initially 

carried out. 

But before the decision was 

made Mr Mora said: “We have 

just got to grow some whatevers 

and actually make a decision on 

Call for pathway not to go ahead close to estuary 

•From page 1 

“We absolutely welcome the 

idea of walking and cycling 

paths, it’s just that this is the 

wrong area to put it,” he said. 

Said Redcliffs Residents 

Association secretary Pat 

McIntosh: “It would be a very 

nice facility for people to be 

able to walk around the estuary 

edge but unfortunately it’s a 

nature reserve and it’s incredibly 

important for the wildlife at 

the estuary that they actually 

have some space where they’re 

understood.”

But board member Mark 

Peters hit back. 

He said: “I actually find that a 

slight bit offensive, Mr Chair, being 

told to grow something and 

make a decision.” 

Mr Mora responded “fair 

enough.” 

He later said while it was probably 

the wrong choice of words, 

people do need to realise the 

board is there to make decisions. 

“I am a straight shooter – I say

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board said the 

proposed pathway “is in 

breach of local, national and 

international protections. 

“This area – the oxidation 

ponds, Linwood paddocks, 

Sandy Point and the adjacent 

shoreline – is a crucial refuge for 

a large variety of birds, including 

endangered migratory birds and 

rare New Zealand species. It is 

the last bastion of estuary edge 

that does not allow easy access by 

humans and dogs, and the only 

remaining mainly undisturbed 

area for waterfowl roosting in the 

what I think”. 

The comments were after 

Mr Peters raised concerns the 

entirety of Bronco Drive had not 

been consulted on the no stopping 

restrictions. 

City council traffic engineer 

Barry Hayes said generally he 

goes about three properties beyond 

the extent of the proposal 

and he contacted the Halswell 

Residents’ Association. 

But Mr Peters put forward 

an amendment for the decision 

estuary,” the motion said. 

Said city council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge: An Ecological 

Impact Assessment is under way 

to report on how the pathway 

would impact on the ecological 

values of the site (primarily 

birdlife and lizards) and what 

the overall impacts would be if 

a range of potential mitigation 

measures were put in place. 

“Following further investigations 

and cost estimates, the 

Council may be asked to consider 

options for the pathway, including 

a potential alternative route 

and whether to put the proposal 

forward for public consultation. 

over the no stopping restrictions 

to be delayed until further 

consultation had been held with 

all residents of Bronco Drive and 

Stallion Ave. 

Already, the board had voted 

to delay making a decision on 

a safety upgrade to the Ilam/ 

Middleton/Riccarton Rd intersection. 

“I don’t want to be obstructive 

but I want to ensure we have got 

the consultation absolutely correct 

and right. 

Because the details of the pathway 

haven’t been decided, the 

construction costs are not yet 

known,” he said. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board member Tim 

Lindley, who is a member of the 

estuary trust, didn’t speak for 

the whole board but believes the 

pathway should not go-ahead 

close to the estuary. Instead, he 

said there are grass areas further 

away, which would be more 

suitable. 

He said he hopes the board will 

discuss the community’s concerns 

about the proposal this year and 

decide on the next step. 

The fact we had seen the surprise 

on Colligan St, I want to make 

sure we don’t sneak up on people 

through consultation and we get 

it right,” Mr Peters said. 

Concerns were raised by 

residents on Colligan St when 

the board made a decision to 

cut parking on their street to 

make way for the weekly rubbish 

collection truck without their 

knowledge. 

The vote on the amendment 

drew a tie with board members 

Helen Broughton, Ms Mora, Mr 

Peters and city councillor Catherine 

Chu voting for. 

Mr Mora, board member 

Gamal Fouda, city councillor 

Jimmy Chen voted against while 

board member Andrei Moore 

abstained. 

A second vote was called after 

further questions with all board 

members voting the same except 

for Mr Moore – who voted against 

the decision being delayed. 

Transports operations manager 

Steffan Thomas said the new 

report will recommend the same 

proposal as previously reported 

on but will include any new 

submissions following additional 

consultation. 

Previously staff consulted 

30 properties in total – an 

additional 10 properties will 

receive further consultation.

Idle locomotive has family fuming 

• By Louis Day 

HAVING A locomotive’s engine 

running next to your house at 

the crack of dawn would be a 

nightmare for most people. 

For Saman Farahani, it is a 

harsh reality he and his family 

face up to three times a week. 

His home on Lowe St in 

Addington sits right next to the 

railway. 

Mr Farahani said over the 

past three months a train would 

occasionally stop between 6am 

and 6.30am and the locomotive’s 

engine would be idling outside 

the house. 

He said the combination of the 

noise and the shaking from the 

engine would wake up himself, 

his wife Sara and three-monthold 

daughter. 

He also said the smell of 

fumes fills up his house to the 

point where he cannot stop 

coughing. 

“First thing when I wake up, I 

cough because the house is full 

of the smell of gas,” he said. 

Mr Farahani said he was 

concerned for the health of his 

daughter. 

He said moving was not 

an option for him, with his 

tenancy contract at the 

property not running out 

until October. 

“The driver will stop outside 

UP CLOSE: Saman Farahani’s home will shake and fill up with fumes when a locomotive stops 

next to it. 


the house and the whole house 

will start shaking and it will be so 

loud you won’t be able to sleep. 

“I’m just asking for a bit of 

respect.” 

Mr Farahani said he had 

pleaded with the driver on 

numerous occasions park the 

locomotive further along the 

railway line where there are no 

houses, but was ignored. 

KiwiRail acting South Island 

general manager of operations 

Mark Heissenbuttel said it 

apologised for the disturbance 

and was investigating how to 

solve the issue as quickly as 

possible. 

“KiwiRail endeavours to be 

a good neighbour to those who 

live alongside the rail corridor,” 

he said. 

“Occasionally residents raise 

issues like this with us and wherever 

possible we try to adjust 

our operations to remove the 

nuisance.” 

Community 

boards to get 

public input 

• By Louis Day 

THE PUBLIC will have a say 

on the priorities of community 

boards for the first time. 

The city council is publicly 

consulting on the three-year plans 

of community boards which set 

out their priorities for local communities. 

City council head of support, 

governance and partnerships John 

Filsell said the idea behind the 

initiative was to get community 

feedback in order to inform board 

priorities. 

These plans will guide the 

boards’ decisions on local activities, 

projects and facilities and advocacy 

on behalf of communities. 

Each plan will identify three 

priorities per ward area, so the 

Burwood-Coastal Community 

Board for example which comprises 

of two wards will have six 

priorities. Burwood-Coastal is the 

only board to have its plan out for 

consultation at this stage. It has 

proposed prioritising service delivery 

at QEII Recreation and Sport 

Centre, planning for an additional 

community facility in Burwood, 

the transformation of the red zone 

and improving roading. 

Mr Filsell said all boards would 

have their plans out for public 

consultation until early March.

Schools prep for 

garden festival 


SCHOOL PUPILS from St 

Mark’s School are amongst those 

who have been preparing for the 

Grow Ō Tautahi Christchurch 

Garden Festival. 

St Mark’s, Heathcote Valley 

School, Banks Avenue School, 

St Albans Catholic School, West 

Rolleston, West Eyreton, West 

Melton, Burnside Primary and 

Diamond Harbour School are 

taking part in the festival, creating 

display gardens that reflect 

their values and surroundings. 

It will be held in the Botanic 

Gardens from March 20-22. 

The gardens have been growing 

since late last year, but extra work 

was needed over the holidays. 

Said St Mark’s teacher Liz 

Coster: “The importance of caring 

for our community through 

sustainable practices will be 

reflected in the St Mark’s garden 

entry at the Grow Ōtautahi Garden 

Show.” 

Grow Ō Tautahi festival director 

Sandi MacRae said school kids 

will be on-site during the festival 

to talk to visitors about their gardens 

and what they represent. 

“When we were planning the 

Festival, we were clear it had 

ENVIRONMENTAL: Ruby- 

Grace Miller and Ariya Smith 

from St Mark’s School putting 

together a display for the 

Grow Ō Tautahi Christchurch 

Garden Festival. 

to reflect local people and local 

ideas. It has been fantastic to get 

so many local primary schools 

involved to show off their gardening 

skills in creations that 

reflect their values. 

“We’re working closely with 

the schools to support their displays, 

but these are all their own 

creations and it’s their hard work 

that has gone in to producing the 

exhibits,” she said. 

The school garden creations 

will include an edible salad bowl, 

a celebration of native plants, a 

focus on wellness, a reflection 

on life in the red zone and many 

more ideas. 

Programme warns of 

dangers of speeding 

THE CRASH Bash road safety 

programme being performed 

across Canterbury schools over 

the next few weeks will aim to 

make teenagers aware of the 

dangers of speeding. 

The performance is targeted at 

year 11-13 students and will tour 

about 30 schools during term 

one including Cashmere High 

School, Hillmorton HighSchool 

and Rudolf Steiner School. 

Crash Bash is an interactive 

stage performance that tours 

secondary schools, spreading the 

message to young people about 

the importance of making safe 

choices when driving. 

This year’s performance, 

What’s the Rush? is going to 

focus on intersection safety and 

the risks of speed. 

Said city council transport 

operations manager Steffan 

Thomas: “Speed determines 

both the likelihood of a crash 

occurring and the severity of 

the outcome. Regardless of what 

causes a crash, whether people 

walk away or are carried away 

will depend on the speed their 

vehicles are travelling. 

DANGER: Interactive performance Crash Bash will aim to 

discourage teenagers from speeding. PHOTO: GETTY 

“We want young people to 

be aware of the risks that come 

with driving too fast and to 

understand that the choices 

they make when they get 

behind the wheel of a car have 

consequences – potentially 

life-changing consequences,’’ 

Mr Thomas said. 

Mr Thomas said drivers on 

a restricted licence are seven 

times more likely to be involved 

in a crash resulting in a fatal 

or serious injury than other 

drivers. 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

“Data also shows that young 

restricted drivers are more at risk 

of having a serious crash in the 

first six to 12 months of driving 

solo on their restricted licence 

that an at any other time in their 

lives,” he said. 

Crash Bash is led by the city 

council, with funding support 

from the New Zealand Transport 

Agency. 

The performance is developed 

by the Court Theatre in 

collaboration with Canterbury 

Police.

Currently studying:

I've been running a bespoke software development company in 

Christchurch since the end of 2018. One of my biggest struggles has always 

been to find reliable and talented developers to help me with projects when 

things get busy. I originally reached out to the team at Vision College to do 

some mentoring. I mentioned my struggles and they put me in contact with 

one of their students, Declan. 

Declan has been such a help, his ability to be productive right away and the 

ease in which he picked up new concepts was impressive. It really is a 

testament to the fact that vision college isn't just teaching specific 

technologies and theory, but rather empowering their students to become 

lifelong learners. In the software development industry, you never stop 

learning. There is always something new and better, 

and Declan has really proven himself more than capable of keeping up. I 

look forward to a long term relationship with Vision College and am already 

talking to another student 

there to help more.

BUSY: Woolston Boxing coach Holly Sullivan will run the New 

Zealand Golden Gloves in June for the first time in six years. 


Woolston to hold 

NZ Golden Gloves 

• By Jacob Page 

SPORT 

THE WOOLSTON Boxing 

Club will host the New Zealand 

Golden Gloves event on June 27. 

The national tournament is 

seen as one of the pinnacle events 

on the amateur boxing calendar 

each year. 

Woolston Boxing Club coach 

and tournament organiser Holly 

Sullivan said she wanted to host 

the event after seeing how successful 

it was in Rotorua last year. 

“We hosted it back in 2014 and I 

thought it was time we did it again. 

“Rotorua had 40 bouts but 

that’s with it being easier for the 

North Island boxers to travel to 

it so if I got 75 per cent of that I 

would be really happy. 

She said ideally each weight class 

would have two South Island boxers 

and two North Island boxers 

who would compete for the right to 

be called New Zealand No 1. 

It will be a busy year for the 

sport in the area with the club 

hosting the South Island novice 

championships in the lead-up to 

the big event on March 21 and 22. 

Sullivan said it would be her 

10th time running the South 

Island novice tournament which 

was Woolston’s traditional annual 

event. 

“It is certainly going to be a 

busy time but it is exciting.” 

Both events will be held at the 

Woolston Club. 

Record-breaking effort 

for cancer fundraiser 

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ 

High School’s rowing team 

has set a new world record and 

raised more than $22,000 for 

Leukaemia and Blood Cancer 

New Zealand in the process. 

Ed Lopas, a member of the 

school’s rowing team, was 

diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma 

– a form of blood cancer 

– last year. It was only fitting that 

the 16-year-old had the honour 

of finishing the last stint of the 

successful world record attempt 

last Tuesday. The team of 61 rowers 

set a new world record for the 

longest continual team erg (rowing 

machine) by a group aged 

under-19. Their time of 145hr 

10min smashed the previous 

record of 96hr. 

“It was pretty special having 

everyone cheer me on to the finish,” 

said Lopas. 

The team travelled a total 

distance of 1937km. On a map, 

their travels took them from 

school, north to Blenheim, west 

to Greymouth, south to Queenstown, 

east to Dunedin and up 

SH1 back to school. 

The school’s rowing manager 

Ricardo De Sousa said he’s been 

blown away by the team’s commitment 

to the record-breaking 

achievement. 

“The boys have been absolutely 

incredible. We thought it would 

be a bit of a headache trying to get

team’s new world record of more than 145hr on the erg.

boys on the egg at silly hours of 

the morning. It’s not the most fun 

thing to be on and the boys tend to 

shy away from it, but they wanted 

to do it for Ed,” said De Sousa. 

Senior rowers did shifts of 

90min with some of the movies 

doing shifts between 30-45min. 

The team began the world record 

big on February 5 and had 

surpassed the previous world 

record by the following Sunday 

afternoon. 

Ed was diagnosed with 

Hodgkin’s lymphoma in July last 

year. 

After five months of successful 

chemotherapy, Ed was cleared to 

start physical activity again and 

hopes to row at the Maadi Cup 

regatta on Lake Ruataniwha near 

Twizel next month. 

He’s not one to gossip but.... 

No one is recognised as knowing more about Hollywood than 

celebrity journalist David Hartnell MNZM. 

He’s spent a lifetime reporting on Hollywood’s scandals of 

the rich and famous and counts a handful of celebrities as 

lifelong friends. 

Tuesday 25 February, 10am, is your chance to meet David and get the inside 

scoop on some of the outrageous gossip he can’t print in his columns. 

This time his lips will not be sealed!

grated (wear gloves to avoid 

staining your hands) 

2 Tbsp chopped parsley 

50g fresh wholemeal 

breadcrumbs 

1 egg 

olive oil 

Halloumi 1 slice per slider 

Handful of rocket 

8 or 12 small buns (brioche if you 

can get them), split and cut side 

toasted 

Chilli jam to serve 

Directions 

Put the chickpeas in a bowl 

and mash them roughly, add 

the cumin and chilli and mash 

again. Add the beetroot, parsley, 

breadcrumbs, egg and plenty of 

seasoning. Mix well and form into 

8 or 12 small patties. 

Heat about 1cm of oil in a 

frying pan and fry the patties on 

each side until they are crisp and 

brown. Drain on kitchen paper. 

Fry the halloumi briefly until it 

starts to brown a little. Put a few 

rocket leaves on the base of each 

bun, add a patty and a slice of 

halloumi followed by a spoon 

of chilli jam then put the lid on. 

A cocktail stick will hold the lot 

together. Serve 2 or 3 per person. 

Roast beetroot soup with 

caramelised onion and blue 

cheese toast 

Serves 6 

Ingredients 

1kg beetroots, topped, tailed, 

scrubbed clean and cut into large 

pieces 

1 red onion, cut into wedges 

3 cloves garlic 

½ a small bunch of thyme, plus a 

few leaves 

500ml vegetable stock 

100ml crème fraîche 

½ lemon, juiced 

For the toast 

3 slices sourdough, cut in half 

4 Tbsp caramelised onion 

chutney 

150g blue cheese 

handful of walnuts, roughly 

chopped 

Directions 

Heat the oven to 200 deg C 

(180 deg C fan forced). Put the 

beetroots, red onion and garlic 

into a roasting tin, pour in 150ml 

of water, season well and scatter 

over the thyme. Cover with a 

double layer of foil and put into 

the oven for 1hr 15min or until 

the beetroots are very tender to 

the point of a knife. 

Remove the foil, peel the 

beetroots and discard the skin, 

then chop into small pieces. Put 

into a pan with the onion, garlic 

and vegetable stock, bring to the 

boil then use a hand blender to 

whizz until completely smooth, 

or ladle into a blender and whizz. 

Season, then stir in the crème 

fraîche and lemon juice, and 

whizz again. Keep warm. 

Heat the grill to high. Put the 

bread pieces onto a baking tray 

and toast on either side. Spread 

each piece with the chutney and 

then add a piece of blue cheese, 

some thyme leaves and walnuts. 

Grill until melted. 

Spoon the soup into bowls and 

top with the toast.
