????? as a Newt?

       In this case the adjective is "Smooth".  An unscheduled day I had not expected.
       "Niece #2" (Only by virtue of chronology) wanted to see Trentham Gardens.  We had a "Grand Day out" with "Sprog" as the engine to my Wheels.  We spotted what had, evidently, been a decorative "Pond"/Fountain with a BIG Blackboard beside it.
       Sprog shot off and read it - "Smooth Newts breeding pond."  which then  went on to explain we ought not to worry about the sides as they could surmount even that obstacle by creeping through cracks.
       I think this can be proved by one of the shots in my composite.  I christened the thumbnail "The Dragon" due to its pose.
