Here's Alice Laden, who worked as the housekeeper of George Bernard Shaw, looking after Bunch, her lovely ginger cat in 1946: https://archives.lse.ac.uk/records/SHAW_PHOTOGRAPHS/1/47/5971

Alice wrote "The George Bernard Shaw Cookbook" which contains recipes she would cook for him, including brussels sprouts casserole https://www.abebooks.co.uk/9780207153037/George-Bernard-Shaw-Vegetarian-Cook-0207153035/plp

Each year we run a "focus week" where we publish blog posts to raise awareness of archives and invite people to share their archive stories on a daily theme on social media. We've just announced this year's themes, which take place in November. We'd love to see people on Mastodon get involved!
