Ah, but which tartan?

[porrick]

You know we're tartan addicted if we look at a fine lass in a tartan skirt (of different lengths) and one of the FIRST things we think is . . . "What Tartan is THAT?"

I know I've become guilty. Thanks for the ID attempt, Matt. I was getting no where.

I hope she is enjoying it in Norway! It seems as if she has just taken a pic of you or someone and is musing as she looks at the result!
Also, is that printing on your son's (?) shirt he is wearing? I've not seen that on a button down over/down here yet. I'm curious as to what it says.

Yes, Hannah is having a good time over here, and her Norwegian is already exceptionally good. Yes, she has just taken a picture - and my son is active as usual... The printing on a decent button down shirt is a good compromise betwee "cool" t-shirt and "grown-up shirt".
The shirt itself is really dressy, and has the following printings: Denim Almighty/Rica Street Wake/Street Rails/Attitude. The back-side is plain white.

PM me if interested -I could always put one in the post for you

I KNEW that I'd seen it before (I think we had a kilted skirt in that tartan in our shop). I looked through about a dozen swatch books and found it.



Please note that I tried to find it through a few different Tartan search site and came up empty. When I look up "Cairngorm" I get a different tartan. This could be a fashion tartan that's not registered, but someone CALLED Cairngorm.

I was about to throw my 2 cents in...until I read Matt's post.

Oh, yeah. She is wearing tartan, isn't she? Gee, I missed that at first.

Kind of makes me wish I was 35 years younger. I'd sign up for German lessons.

Well, that is interesting news! I might pursue the tartan, as I like it a lot

Glad to hear that other's also have had positive experiences as host families - certainly a lot to be learnt :-)

Hmm, I don't think so.

Note that Hannah is 15 and I have parental responsibility for this year - as a daughter in the house - and I am the kind of dad who will wait up on the porch with a shotgun loaded with salt. I threw my step-daughter's boyfriend out in the snow with his clothes following in a heap at 6AM - no mercy when it comes to obeying rules and protecting my kids. Sorry, won't digress any more. Glad to hear of other's positive experience with exchange students

Nothing personal, just rambling...

Ahh...then I humbly retract my previous statement. I do applaud you for tossing said boyfriend out, and having such rules about your kids. I feel exactly the same way.

You are a true gentleman

You are a true gentleman

is there any other way to be?

and, from what I have experienced, Scotsmen are the second most dangerous group to upset...second only to Wookies.
