Flutter,
How ironic! My family did ceramics, and my dad did this whole nativity scene in china paint. It is an heirloom now as it was done when I was 3 or 4 and he died when I was 14. I love ceramics!My mom studied flower arranging and was eventually a florist (there is a lot more to arranging than one might think, esp. studying the Japanese styles). That isn't too expensive an avocation, and you always get to enjoy the flowers (unless they are for someone else).
Nutritionists these days are extremely well received, as you may know. So, any brushing up you can do in Italy (or taking an online course--that's how my sister got some sort of computer certification) will help you when you can get more education (if you want to go that route).
Also being in Italy (I am Italian, really Sicilian) my fater picked up on doing mosaics (cutting the tiles yourself, doing the design, etc.) and he made a big, incredibly heavy! mosaic table. We lived in Germany but I think it was our trip camping thru to Sicily (the homeland) that first piqued his interest.
Good luck to you! Finding something that holds your interest -- no matter what it is! -- will feel so good!
