Harriet lost in thought before embarking upon today's #HedgewatchForJude. She's thinking of Jude's family, as are Freya and I.

You've got a whole canyon named after you in England, @fartycheddarcat.bsky.social It's called "Cheddar Gorge".
p.s. Freya and Harriet call you "Cheddar Gorgeous" (their little joke) and asked me to send you a trillion kisses.
(Not sure how many that is but it sounds like a lot.)
