MonoMonday: Doorstep

This step is just outside our back door.
I can tell you a story about the hand rail. 
About 15 years ago my brother in law suggested we needed something to help his elderly mother up and down the steps. She lived next door and used to come over every day for dinner. I was a bit surprised as it hadn't occurred to me but I asked my father, who was one of those handy people who could do anything, if he could help. So he found a bit of pipe and constructed the rail.
Some years later he was the one needing the assistance.
They have both passed away now and I fear it won't be much longer before I appreciate the hand rail myself :-(

Thanks Nickimags for hosting MM in May.
