Caching for Winter

I was baking my Christmas cake today and found a bag of dried up(very) raisins in the cupboard so popped them out for the wildlife and for the whole time I was making the cake a squirrel spent that time caching them in my lawn as I watched him out the window. He’s well stocked for Winter. ???

Yes, we’ve got 2 squirrels caching in our lawn, they’ve also built a drey in a tree at the end of our garden.
Hope the cake turns out well!

How lovely ours are in the park we back on to but they bring the babies here when they are born.
It’s a tried and tested cake recipe but I had a real struggle grating the rind and squeezing the juice of my orange and lemon as have a rotator cuff injury in my shoulder ? it was very painful.
