Our eyes usually sting for a day or two after a weekend in Paris visiting the daughter - lots of the area it is car free too.We get a local to us tgv straight into the city and métro around it.

or the start of Hammersmith flyover for the M4
October 2011 was the last time I was up there ...
went up on the Wing to the Royal Free, in Hampstead, to see the top Gaucher's man in the country, Professor Ahtul Metta.
Really nice bloke - he seemed somewhat amused I'd chosen the Wing for transport for the 330 mile round trip ...
damned sight easier in London traffic than a car -- and easier to park.
was bolloed by the time I got back though
..aside from taking it a couple of miles, for MOT, back in May, was the first time I'd ridden it in over a year
and it poxy rained for half of the trip up

and the water that was once in the seas and oceans to put them there is now locked up in ice at the poles, which're now starting to release it back into the system once more, in the USUAL natural cycles ... both poles were once temperate.
"For a staggering 100 million years, Antarctica, now covered in a thick ice sheet, was essentially ice-free. Fossilized plant and animal remains discovered in Antarctica reveal that it was once a land covered in forests, inhabited by diverse creatures such as dolphins, crocodiles, and various plant species. This evidence paints a vivid picture of a dramatically different past compared to its current frozen state. These findings confirm that significant portions of Earth that are now glaciated were once temperate and habitable. .....The transition to a cooler climate that led to significant ice formation around 34-35 million years ago occurred during the boundary between the Eocene and Oligocene epochs. This dramatic climate shift marked the beginning of the Antarctic ice sheet’s development, underscoring the highly dynamic nature of Earth’s climate system. Before this period, the absence of ice at the poles contributed to higher sea levels and different global weather patterns. .....polar ice caps are not a constant feature of our planet. "
" .... glacial cycles of the last two million years, which are characterized by alternating periods of colder glacials and warmer interglacials.
We are currently in an interglacial period following the last major glacial maximum.
Importantly, there have been many glacial cycles in the past two million years, not just one “Ice Age”, as many often believe.
Each of these glacial periods involved the expansion of ice sheets from the poles, but before the current interglacial period, such sheets advanced and retreated, never being a permanent feature.
Before these cycles, polar ice sheets were either non-existent or smaller, not constant features. "

Were there polar ice caps before the ice age? - Geographic FAQ Hub: Answers to Your Global Questions
Were There Polar Ice Caps Before the Ice Age? The question of whether polar ice caps existed before the ice age is a fascinating one, delving deep into Earth’s climatic history. The short answer is: it depends on what you define as “the ice age.” While we often think of the ice age as the …...
