Hold onto your hats, this week I’m proclaiming tartan as a trend. I just can’t fight the celt in me. A favourite house I once wrote about had tartan cushions in it and when I returned to my office after visiting it, so busy was I raving on about them that it took me a while to notice an Australian colleague giving me ‘I don’t get you’ looks. Some shots below that I hope will convince you against pulling the same face…
