Michela Chiappa is on Gower to meet and eat with a little-known community of incomers enjoying life on one of the country’s most beautiful coastlines. At the heart of the community are the Blytt-Jordens - three generations of Welsh-Norwegians. They are among several Welsh-Norwegian families settled in the area, who have only recently discovered each other.

Her guide is grandmother Sol Blytt-Jorden, who was born in Bergen but came to the UK when she was 20. Sol’s son Scott was born and bred in the UK, but now he has children of his own he’s keen to adopt some of his mother’s Norwegian traditions to pass down the next generation.
