Steve has changed his mind!!!

For ages on the website Steve has been saying the next Harold adventure he was going to write about was my one eyed adventure as a pirate. Well he has now decided that we really need to write about our time at the Olimpets or is Olympics - not sure I like the sound of the Olimpets so we'll stick with that for now. I know it's going to be very exciting as the Olimpets are the biggest sporting event in the World - even bigger than me and Charlies' sports day - if you can imagine that!
We are expecting some really fast egg and spoon race times!
I think me and Charlie need to do some running and swimming to get fit - you never know when we may be needed....
Off to run rings around Charlie

I've been launched!

Hello there - I'm feeling especially excited today. The book of my latest adventure is available from today!
I don't want to spoil the story for you, but I have to say, it's my most adventurous adventure yet! (Bigger than Harold on Safari AND Harold and the Mermaid). It could even be bigger than when me and Charlie saved Christmas (Harold Saves Christmas) - but I wouldn't want to upset my great friend Santa! Well it's called Harold in Space. So I'm not giving anything away by saying its about me in space, and I got to drive the space shuttle - oops I got a bit excited than and told you the plot. Well you mustn't tell anyone - well except all your friends!
The pictures are great, a new budding illustrator named Jessica was kind enough to do this book for me!
I think you'll agree that I look great - the bestest astronaut ever (even if I do say so!)
I'm sure you'll enjoy reading all about it and find it as exciting as I did. You don't even need to leave home to get hold of a copy of the new story, you can order it from the website. I know you all know it, but just in case you're a first timer its www.haroldtheplatypus.co.uk. Just drop me an e mail if your a platty lover outside the UK and we can sort out postage individually. Well obviously not me, but one of my support team would be thrilled to help you!
Got to go ....

Charlie finally meets Paddington Bear !

Well, Machupicchu took us ages to get to - it's right up in the highest mountains i've ever seen, i think they belong to someone called Andy ( he must be big friends with Paddington). Charlie looked Machupicchu up on the interweb it was built by the Inkys. I wonder if they would publish my books? I have to ask.


It was great to catch up with Paddington, Charlie was especially excited. I am a bit worried Charlie is starting to look up to Paddington more than me, he actually said he preferred Paddington's favourite sandwich ( do you know what it is? Marmalade - yuck!) to my favourite ( i bet you know what that is, cheese and pickle - yum yum!) that will never do! All this talk of cheese and pickle sandwiches has started a rumbly in my tumbly - I'll have to go!

Harold meets Paddington bear

hi you platypus lovers - sorry it's been a while since my last blog but me and Charlie have been on a bear hunt (Mandy insists that it was more of a reunion than an actual hunt). Charlie has been desperate to catch up with his distant cousin - so we persuaded Mandy and Steve to take us to the place Charlie calls Darkest Peru.
Charlies cousins name is Paddinagton. You may have heard of him he's had books written about his adventures as well; so me and Paddington should have lots to chat about. Well, when we got to Peru it wasn't very dark at all! (Charlie doesn't really know what he is talking about).
We chatted with Paddingtons Aunt Lucy and she said that he had gone to a place called machupicchu. They do have funny place names here and I can't understand a word anyone is saying - Steve says it's Spanish - whatever that is (he doesn't seem to understand it either)
adios amigos!
Harold
