Nayland Milestone 55 Miles from London, 26 miles from Chelmsford, 8 miles to Hadleigh 22 miles to Bury [St Edmunds]
Via Colchester the mileage from Chelmsford is about 29 so the route would have been via West Bergholt and Little Horkesley I guess.
My children are growing up.
A few weekends ago, we finally disassembled our daughter's crib (which my son used before her) after waiting several months since she started sleeping in her "big girl bed". I couldn't help shedding a few tears as I helped my husband unscrew and take the pieces apart and put them in the attic for the last time.
Who says peak noon is not a good time for photography? Shot at 12 noon on the way to Kaas (duh!).
Maitreyi makes a normal milestone look surreal.
A sopping wet evening finds the AF6 job beginning their night, crossing Highway 12 and headed to Alliance Steel. I am amazed I've never seen a car get hit at this crossing before... a nerve racking experience is had by all every time I shoot this move. People don't yield for shit here.
For your listening pleasure, some obscure post rock as a soundtrack for tonight's upload:
Total I reached the grand old age of 65, but then age is just a number. This weekends plans went to pot a bit as my partner was unwell and couldn’t make it up here, we had a table booked for tonight on my usual pub, I was coming as Helen. Having met my son for lunch today, I decided to come up here anyway and have a nice glass of wine by way of celebrating this milestone. I decided to ignore my age and dress entirely age inappropriately life’s too short to be conservative. Hope you approve of the look, feeling great and there’s loads of life in this old bird yet Helen ❤️💋
Wow, yet another milestone with you guys! I can't thank you enough! I've gone through so many Dark Ages and yet you guys never unfollowed or stopped checking out my stuff. Throughout my inactive phases I always got new Lego followers that though they should check out my page and give me a follow!
This is truly an awesome community and I hope it lasts through generations (unless there's an internet apocalypse where social media becomes legend) BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!
So cheers to everyone! :D
Can't wait to reach another milestone with you guys!

Near the entrance into the post office there is a milestone installed that informs the passers-by about the distance to Moscow – 448 verst.

The Tasty Three
Here's the link to the video!!
This week's location is actually three! A few months ago there was a group of restaurants being demolished which included a Milestones, Montana's and a Kelseys. This was a pretty exciting explore for me as I really enjoy exploring retail locations, they have a post apocalyptic feel to them because they are places that you often visit in a different context, usually when they are full of people. Houses are great but I find there is a sort of disconnection to them since you have no idea what they were like when still in use. With that said, these restaurants were by no means time capsules, they were very modern and were still in operation just a couple of months prior to my visit but now they are gone.
All three of these restaurants were once owned by a company called Recipe Unlimited Corporation, however the company recently sold its Milestones brand. Recipe Unlimited started out in 1883 when it was called Canada Railway News Company, they started out selling newspapers, magazines and confectionaries at railway stations. In the 1930s they started offering catering services to airlines and created a separate business called Aero Caterers Ltd. and by 1951 they were serving 1500 meals per day. In 1961, the company merged its two operations and formed the more widely recognised brand name Cara Operations Limited. In 1977 they entered the retail restaurant business starting out with brands such as Swiss Chalet and Harvey's. Over the years, there were numerous acquisitions as well as a few restaurants they either sold or closed down. In 2018 Cara Operations merged with The Keg and became Recipe Unlimited and they currently own a number of restaurant chains throughout Canada.
The Milestones restaurant was the only one of the three restaurants that hadn't been cleaned out before closing (which makes sense since it was the only one not owned by Recipe Unlimited) and unfortunately that was the first of the buildings to fall. But luckily it was still mostly standing during my visit!
What do you guys think, do you find abandoned restaurants interesting? Let me know in the comments below!
Milestone Comics are a line of superhero stories founded in 1993 by Milestone Media. They published minority characters which were severely underrepresented in other American comics at the time. Famous characters include: Icon & Rocket, Hardware and Static (or Static Shock). Milestone Comics later merged under Detective Comics and met mainstream DC characters in crossovers.
In celebration of 60 years of LEGO brick, I was joined by 4 other builders Amy Cheng, Bobby Cheng, Joe Chan and Jared Chan to prepared this fascinating 8-tier celebration cake over the last 2 months. Each tier records important milestones/ key achievements of LEGO since 1950s, including Ole Kirk's House, LEGO House and many fan favourites. 60 mini-models have been created and I will share more about them in the next few days.
We are really excited to be presenting this one of a kind gift to our most treasured LEGO brick, come celebrate with us at Tsuen Wan Plaza in Hong Kong from 20/7 to 2/9 if you are around!

2 Million Milestone
Thank you for taking the time to view, fave and comment.
One Million View (August 2012)
It was 1 year, 1 month and 1 day ago that I cracked a million. Took a few years to get the first million. So far I am neither rich nor famous. If I had a dollar for every...I wouldn't have earned 1 cent from photography for every view I've had let alone 1 dollar haha
Its also interesting to note the role of popular photos in getting views. I'd say a good 40% of those views in the last year have come from about 50 of the several hundred photos I've posted. Who says quality over quantity is a good plan?
The Milestones at On the Rocks
Despite the ghost like atmosphere in the picture, the gig was everything but cold or frigid. Top of all, it was great to shoot some music again!

I'm guessing because of lockdown, It was a closed game against Hornchurch
I thought you might like to see a photo from our previous trip to Milestones Museum in 2006! Matt was 16 and JJ was 12.
Chasing aircraft is all part of the fun for us AvGeeks, one particular aircraft that I've been trying to find for a while is Air China's 50th Airbus A330 which the airline took delivery of in September 2015.
China is undoubtedly a major customer and location for Airbus A330's, Air China has a large fleet of Airbus A330's which operates both long-haul and short-haul flights. Since September 2015, Air China became the first carrier in China to operate and take delivery of the 242-tonne Airbus A330-300 which much capable of long-haul flying compared to older Airbus A330-300's... Making flights such as Beijing and London a breeze!
Air China has a major presence at Heathrow; since September 2014, Air China has operated twice daily flights between London Heathrow and Beijing... Whilst CA937/938 has since seen Boeing 777-300ER's return from March 2015, Airbus A330-200's have been consistently operating CA855/856 since September 2014.
As Air China have been taking delivery of more Airbus A330's, notably the 242-tonne Airbus A330-300's, for the Summer 2016 schedule from March 2016 has seen the airline utilising Airbus A330-300's between London Heathrow and Beijing. The flight has since reverted back to Airbus A330-200 operation.
Air China currently operates a fleet of 53 Airbus A330's, which includes 30 Airbus A330-200's and 23 Airbus A330-300's. The airlines has an additional order for 12 Airbus A330-300's.
Five Nine Seven Seven is one of 23 Airbus A330-300's in service with Air China, and one of just 4 Airbus A330-300's delivered with a 242-tonne configuration. Delivered new to the Chinese flag-carrier in September 2015 and she is powered by 2 Rolls-Royce Trent 772C-60 engines.

Paddy's Milestone, the Onion, Ailsa Craig in the Firth of Clyde, if you can see it off in the distance - maybe 30 miles away and also the southern end of the island of Arran.
CF-ANN - de Havilland DH-82C Tiger Moth - Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum (CWHM)
at Hamilton International Airport (YHM)
Military markings: RCAF 4947
c/n 746 - built in 1941
The Museum's Tiger Moth was built at Downsview, Ontario and taken on strength with the RCAF on April 16, 1941. It was assigned to No. 2 Training Command in Winnipeg, Manitoba and was relegated to the status of an instructional airframe in December 1943. It was struck off service in July 1946, sold and until 1990, not much is known. In 1990, it was registered as CF-IME to Stanley Squires of Milestone, Saskatchewan and in 1992 as C-FIME to John and Sheila Squires of Weyburn, Saskatchewan. Bill Neelin of Camrose, Alberta purchased the aircraft in 1999 and completed a full restoration, registering his Tiger Moth as CF-ANN. It was subsequently purchased by Rob Fleck who operated it at Vintage Wings of Canada for a few seasons until he generously donated it to the Museum in March 2015.
As I raced through Peterborough Non stop I managed to snap a photo of my First Class 800 'Azuma' IEP train destined for the East Coast Route in 2018.
Not a brilliant photo due to the speed, my excitement and dirty windows of my Virgin Train, but for me a milestone as I have wanted to see one of these for real instead of just in other peoples photos.
Now the goal is to see one close up or at a station so I can experience it better.
On the London side of Shooters Hill. An 18th century milestone converted into a war memorial by the addition of an extra commemorative plate giving casualties and distance to Ypres.
The distances are 7 miles to Dartford. 8 miles to London Bridge. The third plate says:
130 miles to Ypres.
In defending the Salient our casualties were:-
90,000 killed,
70,500 missing
410,000 wounded.
The stone has been broken and repaired. It was apparently rescued by the vicar of Christ Church, Shooters Hill in which grounds it now stands.
