1...The Easter garden still in evidence to the left and the choristers on the RSCM Easter Course through the choir screen arches.   
But then if we move across the cathedral,  a  little to the South we may then take ...

2...  a sneak view - through an aperture on the South side of the choir screen - of some of the adults trying to keep up [or at least pretending to!] with the pace of the younger choristers during the practice on Friday afternoon.   If you could see more clearly,  you might notice them actually looking at David;  a rare treat indeed.
