This family visited for first time and the “kids” bought their 94 year old mother with them.
They had a great week and I’m sure we will see them again

Why Do We Serve Cucumber Mint Finger Sandwiches at High & Low Tea Lunch Experiences?

Well of course, because they were the Queen's Favorite!

But also there are some benefits and a little history!

Cucumber finger sandwiches are a classic British tea-time staple, originating in the Victorian era as a display of wealth, as fresh cucumbers and white bread were luxury items. They are popular for being a light, refreshing, and crisp treat—perfect for a snack or party appetizer—that keeps guests hydrated without ruining their appetite.

Victorian Symbol of Status: In the 19th century, serving delicate cucumber sandwiches showed that the host could afford fresh produce, specifically cucumbers often grown in specialized, heated greenhouses, notes this Instagram post.

British Afternoon Tea: They became a refined staple of British afternoon tea, often served to upper-class individuals who had time for leisure, as opposed to the laboring class, who needed more filling, high-protein foods, according to Mashed.

Cucumber tea sandwiches are Light and Refreshing: Made with thin slices of cucumber (often English cucumbers), butter or cream cheese, and white bread, they are seen as a healthy, crisp, and refreshing bite.

Ideal for Entertaining: They are quick and easy to make for brunches, baby showers, and parties, as they are considered delicate and sophisticated

Hydration: Their high water content makes them an excellent, refreshing option for hot weather.

We had a wonderful stay at Rose Retreat! The property has everything you could need and comfortably accommodated our group of 12. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy time together, both inside and outside.

The courtyard was a highlight—perfect for swimming, yard games, and just relaxing while taking in the beautiful views. It really brought everyone together.

Al and Mary were fantastic hosts—kind, responsive, and easy to work with. We’d definitely stay here again!

You left the home in a very orderly state. Our cleaners appreciate that. We truly hope you come again, and maybe the temperature will be more like Florida in the spring! Happy that you had the opportunity to see 2 space launches. Thank you, Mary B
