June worked for Dior as a machinist before getting married but is still very keen to get her sewing machine out so I included the Singer manual to symbolise this.  A weak cup of tea never goes amiss whilst listening to the omnibus edition of the Archers before setting out to do a spot of gardening with Alan Titchmarsh.

Ken was an electrician before retirement and had also been heavily involved with St John’s Ambulance so no cycling trip would be complete without emergency supplies for any eventuality!   He was also a District Commissioner for the Scouts and I have included some of the badges on the reverse side of the saddlebag for good measure.  A nice slice of chocolate cake washed down by a glass of medium dry sherry often assists one to retain the finer details relating to British history.

They are members of the National Trust and a handbook rests in the side pocket of the saddlebag.  A weekly visit to the local hall for ballroom dance classes and their love of jazz music is also depicted.
