Visit to my Perimma's House

Couple of weeks before, we went to visit our perimma's house..We really had a great time together..She has such a lovely house with a very big garden..Its my dream to have a house like that. 

She cooked a nice lunch for us...And she made nentrapalam appam and bhajji in the evening to have with tea..

I really had a quite time over there because her house is located far away from the city pollution. Whenever i feel a little stressed we have a visit to her house..I managed to take a few shots over there so here it is..
