The last of the summer leprechauns

 With the autumnal leaves descending upon the foggy early morning grass, so too came the end of our summer Mythical Maze arts and crafts classes at the Old Chelsea Town Hall.
For one last time, did the Mermaids dance on the walls and the Medussa's twirl around on the mantelpiece, the naughty spiders crawled up their webs and big the fluffy Yeti's hide behind the plants. 

Yet today, looking around at all the beautiful creations conceived during the holidays, we just couldn’t leave with a tear. Rather, the only way was to go out with a cheer, an Irish jig of a cheer, to be more precise!
Behold, the Mythical Maze Leprechaun called Charlie.  With his golden ginger beard and his green charming hat, Charlie was today’s surprise and delight!

So yet again, here we were; the sequins out and the coloured green black and gold cards were all over the table, as a new family of Leprechaun brothers, were stuck together and created.

 The results, needless to say, were as charming and exciting as the end of the rainbow, where Charlie’s magical pot of gold was awaiting.

So, I know one thing, which is that as much as I'm going to miss the magical Mythical Maze, I know that it's left us with memories of beautiful smiles and exuberant paper cutting noises ringing through our ears. Of glitter, flying in the air and of proud parents doting from the corners. Not only that, but a new family of Yeti's, Dragons, Sea Snakes, Mermaids, Medussa's and Leprechauns I can now call my friends.

So till the next time, the first Monday of every month, thank you all for the Summer Reading

Challenge fun in all its forms.  Well done to all the local kids in the Chelsea and Kensington borough, who took part and may you spread your magic wherever you go!
Waving to you from the other side of the rainbow, farewell!
