Before we moved to our own house we were in rented accomodation. My wife Jade had two guinea pigs. Mo the older died before the move. So into the freezer he went until he could be buried in our garden at the new place.

Jade carefully wrapped him and put him in a large brown envelope marked in Chinese on the outside 'Do NOT eat' just in case her parents thought we had stocked something special in the freezer.

Now he is pushing up the fig tree in our garden.
