Bond no 5 is to buy us an apple tree or two, a pear, a black cherry and a peach tree. A few berry bushes if you like them. Also whatever ornamental shrubs we want…. a nice dogwood tree for instance. Bond no. 6 will build us the terrace. I'd like to have it all of brick but that is too expensive so it'll be concrete, which I can lay myself, with a brick binding. We can tint the cement if we like. Bond no. 7 is for cement work and paths in the garden. It should be enough to get us a bird bath and perhaps a little ornamental statue. In the garden I thought we might have gravel paths with brick edging and when we have more money later we finish them up in brick.
