Michela Chiappa is on Gower to meet and eat with a little-known community of incomers enjoying life on one of the country鈥檚 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.
