ARCHIE'S THOUGHTS ( Series 1) BY: MADDIE

Oh, that old silly father of mine. Thinking that he's with one foot in his grave, I'm coming home and what do I see, he's running around like a young guy. And then always blaming me of the death of Jamie, I can't stand it anymore.

But it's good to be back at home. To see good old Golly again. He's always been like a second father to me. And that new one, what's his name again, oh yes, Duncan, also a nice guy.

What shall I do ? Go back to London, to Justine ? She can't manage that restaurant alone. But mother needs me here, she said. I really don't know. All right, I'll get my luggage and go back.

Who's that, Fleming, of Lascelles Bank. What's going on. Oh no, Glenbogle is almost bankrupt! Can I go back, knowing that ? And what do I hear now from my parents. They have set it all on my name! I'm the new Laird of Glenbogle. Ha, ha, another reason to think about. Shall I sell it or save it? How difficult for me. But Justine shall not give up the restaurant, and can she live here? Do I myself belong here? And if I sell it, what shall happen with my parents ? It's their home !

And there's Katrina! Katrina, yes, I still like her. Every time I see her I feel it at my heart. But I have Justine in my life. Oh, my God, life isn't easy. And what does Katrina want of me. Sometimes I think she's playing a game with me.

Shall I stay and save the estate ? Am I able to do it ? Maybe with the help of Golly. And maybe with the help of my father. It seems that he's trying to forgive me. What is it that I have still my doubts?

There's also that pretty girl in the kitchen. She can look at me with her big blue eyes. Lexie is her name. Oh , all those women. But no, she's nothing for me. And as far I saw she has something with Duncan. I can't come between them, or........ hm you never know....

For the last time, I must decide something....Okay I stay. Sorry Justine, it'll be hard for you , but you'll manage it, you're strong enough.

Yes, Yes, I WILL STAY.........
