Keep Out!

No matter how ornate they are; no matter how often they are rubbed down, sanded and painted; no matter how often you run a cloth over them to keep them clean, iron railings are there to keep something out. Or, perhaps, to stop something from escaping.

We all have barriers. Some are flimsy and easily pushed aside. Others are like the wrought iron railings around Victorian parks - strong and built to last.

But there is always a way to get inside. Sometimes all it takes is the right key.
