I must be going senile, but then Ted Gardner was the only person to spot that the original Picture of the Month this month (from Ted Gardner's trip to France in 2004) had previously been used in December 2006.  Maybe you just enjoyed seeing it again!!  Anyway, he has sent me a replacement Picture of the Month so you can enjoy a different one.  Thanks Ted, and well spotted!
