Yorkshire Wensleydale wouldn't be the same without her! (3)
I believe the answer is:
ewe
'the same without her' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'yorkshire wensleydale wouldn't' is the wordplay.
'EWE' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
'be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ewe that I've seen before include "creature" , "She'll provide material to knit" , "Scottish loch" , "A palindromic sheep" , "Sheep found in sewer" .)
