Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is a large village in Wales. The name means Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the parish church of Saint Tysilio of the red cave. The name was made up in the 1860's as a publicity stunt. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-40705348573779488512015-02-28T02:30:44.735-08:002015-02-28T02:30:44.735-08:00There is a lovely Finnish woman in the choir I dir...There is a lovely Finnish woman in the choir I direct who makes that same correction.
