The Boshoff’s…

I met the Boshoff family today.  What a warm and loving bunch.  These two girls,  Charné, 13 en Leani, 8 are their parent’s world. Typical sister relationship…  They try very hard not to be affectionate towards each other but they just can’t help it.  They love each other very much.  And it was so easy,...
