Knit and Natter
This is just the group for those interested in knitting and crochet. You will have fun, find encouragement, get professional advice, learn new ideas, and make new friends. People who wish to learn are always very welcome.
Cooking Group
It is very fascinating to learn and try recipes from the other group members’ home countries and then share the delicious food with them. You can prepare anything from a main course, baking item or even a 3-course meal! The beauty of these groups is the flexibility – cook whatever you want. No pressure on anybody or expectations – even a salad is fine. The idea is to get new recipe ideas and meet up once a month with people to share the food. If you get different nationalities in a group, it’s really nice if they prepare something from their own countries.
Gardening Group
Learn how to grow your own vegetables in an easy way on your balcony or terrace. You learn all about how to plan, sow, grow and harvest. The Group leader dedicated her terrace to growing her own vegetables and loves to share her passion, knowledge, and expertise with you. You do not need “green fingers” because this group is for everybody passionate about food, vegetables, and herbs from beginner to seasoned gardener! The Group meets twice a month, from February to November!

If you are a fan of Italy’s food, wine, fashion, and culture, here is your chance to learn the nuances of its beautiful “singing” language. Our Group Leaders are native Italian speakers and are looking forward to welcoming new ladies!
Are you new to the Italian language or not so confident? During the first part we will have a beginner’s basic conversation. However, if you want to keep on learning and your conversation skills are a bit more advanced, then continue by joining the more advanced group in the second part of the conversation. The Groups meet twice a month and each conversation lasts for 1 hour.
