Welcome to the home page of Steve and Janet
Baggs, both born and bred in Somerset. Janet cares for elderly
people in specialist
sheltered accommodation, and Steve retired from the
police in
2002 and is now working for them again as a civilian.
Both of us work part-time.
Janet
is also a lace-maker, watercolour artist and a wizard with a sewing
machine. She makes dolls, cushions, curtains and clothes, then gives them away -
no business sense, you see, just public service. You can learn a little more
about Jan's skills here.
Steve is an amateur photographer (visit PBase to see some examples) and a bit of a computer geek - far too much time is spent taking computers to pieces and putting them back together in a different order. If he's not tinkering with computers he can often be found on CIX (an internet conferencing system for grown-ups), looking at the night sky through a telescope or weather-watching.
We live at Brent Knoll in Somerset. Brent Knoll is that isolated hill you see as you cross the Somerset Levels on the M5. We are caravanners and we love finding tiny quiet sites miles from anywhere - recommendations welcomed. Jan has two horses, so that is another way for her to spend her time. We never argue - we rarely meet!
Baggs is an unusual name, and there does seem to be a sort of affinity between members of the Baggs clan all over the world. We have heard from quite a few Baggses through this site, some of whom have turned out to be distant relatives. If you too are a Baggs, then you might be interested in the Baggs name page.
If you enjoy our little site, then do let us know - especially if you too are a Baggs. Thanks for dropping in.
