Hopefully we will find each other? I didn’t notice the old thread filling up.
Happy Christmas to you all and thanks for your company through the year!

No default, but now I'm curious what red herring I didn't spot!

Edit to add - nevermind, it's an obvious one that I totally missed 😀

If I hadn’t have got yellow first I would have fallen for the red herring! Happy I got purple! BBD

Thought that was going to be hard, but was easier than some of the recent ones. Can’t work out what the red herring was!

A satisfying solve. Almost went for the RH but resisted. I do think blue is becoming the new purple.
