RIP Howard Burns, a gigantic figure in the study of Italian architectural history. I was his first PhD student and owe him more than words can say. He was a source of inspiration and boundless knowledge. Above all, he understood that architecture is part of history in its broadest sense.

The weird effects of climate change: in our garden in Cambridge we have roses and primroses blooming at the same time.

During a chance conversation with a Russian colleague in Cambridge I learned that my Architectural History of Venice has been published in Russian. It seems there has even been a one-hour radio programme about it!
