I sometimes get asked what rhiaro means.
\r\nRhianna, or Rhia, was one of several daydream personas I had when I was wee.

\r\nBuying rhiaro.co.uk at the end of 2008 was a real formative moment for Rhia and myself.
\r\nMost people instinctively pronounce it rih-haro ree-haro or ree-aro, and that's okay, but really it's reah-ro.
