Strewth, The Whole Strewth And Nothing But The Strewth

An amphibious reptile has taken over the Fountain of Strewth, and that’s no crock.

Well, it is, but more croc that crock.

A large crocodile is occupying the rim of the Fountain of Strewth.

Mrs. Kangaeroo bought it and placed it there, using it to replace a tiny replica crocodile she had initially attached to the new lettering on the fountain.

We’ve always had lettering on the fountain, but it got a new, metallic upgrade over the summer, in addition to a Beware of Crocodiles replica road sign.

Ironically, the solar-power fountain that worked so tremendously well and gave the water attraction its name has been rendered almost obselete by increased foliage and a relocation that prevents the sun’s rays from hitting it directly. The Fountain of Strewth is still an integral part of the garden.
