Dr Robinson regaled us with the first volume of his memoirs (Grass Seed in June) as far back as 2006. With becoming modesty he has kept us waiting for 15 years for a further instalment, this time with a new publisher.
This volume starts with the arrival of the author from Oriel College, Oxford (after earlier education at Fort Augustus Abbey and St Andrew’s University) in January 1974 when he joined the London Historic Buildings Division (“a reactionary cell embedded in the Marxist GLC Architects Department”). It ends roughly in the early 1990s, with the exception of a parting blast at the way his beloved Georgian Group was managed in the second decade of the 21st century.
