Murray mania again!

Well me and Charlie were getting a bit down after the end of the Olimpets and the Paralimpets and  then we realised that Andy Murray was doing really well in a tennis competition in America. Steve said it was a Grand Slam... I don't know what that means, do you?
Anyway we woke up this morning to Murray mania all over again. It was just like the Olimpets. Although Steve says he won't get another gold medal, just a big fat cheque!
What is a big fat cheque anyway?
I think a gold medal sounds much nicer.

What team GB needs

Well it's the end of day three of the Olympics and we still haven't won a gold medal! Booooo!
We've been very close but me and Charlie are a tiny bit disappointed that we haven't heard the National Anthem yet.
What team GB need is to get a gold medal in the swimming. By a happy coinkydink that is the subject of my new book - Harold wins Gold.

Even more excitement at the Jubilee celebrations!

There has been so much excitement over the Jubilee weekend I haven't had time to tell you all about brave, brave Charlie. There was a teddy bear parachute jump from our local church bell tower yesterday. I didn't think that Charlie would be brave enough to take part and that he would hide until it was all over. Everyone started to collect at the bottom of the tower to watch all of the brave teddies from the village. Just then Mandy said, "is that Charlie?". It was! "He's using a Marks and Spencer carrier bag as a parachute and he has got his smart orange swimming arm bands on (those of you that have read Harold and the mermaid will know how much Charlie loves his arm bands)!" Mandy covered her eyes and said she couldn't watch. "Jump, Charlie, jump, don't be scared", I shouted. Charlie did exactly that, he waved as he gently floated to the ground. The Marks and Spencer carrier bag did it's job very well! Much to everyone's surprise. Charlie was so brave I couldn't believe it, we were all so proud of him. He joined all of the other brave teddies to collect their medals. Charlie proudly showed everyone his medal. It wasn't as big and shiny as the gold medal I won at World Sports Day (Harold wins gold, you may have heard of it!), but it was still very nice. Well I need to go now as we are going to see the Jubilee beacon being lit! We've both had a nap this afternoon so that we won't be too tired being up so late. I'm too excited to be tired. I wonder whether they will let me light the beacon........ Laters H X

The new book is at the printers!

Steve's latest book in the Harold and Charlie adventure series is at the printers. Me and Charlie are desperate to see how good it looks. We can wait. Steve says the first lot of books will be back on Wednesday. That's miles away, I'm not sure we can wait that long!
This book is all about me! Yes I know they are all about me, that's why they are so good!
The new book is called Harold Wins Gold.
I don't want to give too much away but I might just win a gold medal, which I am thrilled about. If Charlie is really good I might even let him wear it sometimes, it's good to share.
I'll let you know when the books arrive. Steve is taking orders now for the books, so get your order in soon as I think this one might be really popular, what with all the gold medals that people are going to win in the summer!
Off to get into training
