Windy weather warnings

A severe wind warning has been issued for all Victoria tonight and tomorrow, so if you're coming tomorrow (and we hope you are!) it might be a good idea to bring a warm jacket, the best windproof layer you can find, and maybe an umbrella. Oh, and a mug wouldn't go astray. It may be chilly but the food and tea will be warm!
