I mean, you don't need to tell them. Just order something else :)
Edit: actually i think you should give an ice cold glass of rosé a try though. If it really isn't for you pour it secretly into the lavender pot.
Yes, i actually rode it yesterday.
And hundreds of road cyclists too, busiest mountain i have ridden.
Don't forget the pastis ;)
I was on my way with the plan to recreate this photo i took in septmeber some years ago, just with flowering lavender this time:
When i got there, turns out at this spot the lavender field is no more, haha. Photos taken at Col de Soubeyrand.
There was a lavender field a bit higher up, but it was not flowering much yet, i guess too high up.
I am in La Motte Chalancon now, heading north, barkeeper tells me if i cycle past the next mountain, i will have left the Provence.
I thought you'd be talking about letting kids climb up high into trees, going into the city on their own, let them hang out at the skatepark without supervision, stuff like that.
But no, it's about computers and kids not being able to see goatse. Lol. That's lemmy i guess.

Thanks, yeah it had been stuck on my mind since they said it and i saw it. A meme really.
View towards it cycling around it on a trip a few years ago. Beautiful mountain, haha.
They did not think i was actually going to ride mont ventoux back then, and i wasn't, they just knew it from tour de france. At that point i had never ridden any mountain and did not plan to do so either. It was on that trip though that i started to be interested in cycling mountains.
Maybe it doesn't translate, just an inside joke with my coworkers.
Awesome, love seeing families on tour.
Hope you guys get to keep it fun too after rough start!
When i went onto my first solo cycle trip some years ago (from germany to marseille, france), my coworkers joked that i should ride mont ventoux. I had no idea what mont ventoux was, but read it up. On that trip i happened to cycle around this mythical mountain, looked awesome, but i never seriously considered going up ever.
On two more cycle trips i cycled around mont ventoux on different routes, and it always looked just so cool from afar. This trip i wanted to hit mont ventoux, but i got sick basically on the western foot of it. I rode in recovery mode east past it, through the valley, looked awesome again. I then continued towards the high alps but eventually decided to turn around because of the weather forecast, back south into the prealps of provence.
And today i actually got to ride it. I rode it from Sault, because that's where i was coming from, which i guess is not what the OG's do or consider "riding mont ventoux", but cycle tourers are aloud to do that, haha.
Lots of roadies going up there. And it lived up to its name, it was real windy. In the morning at the bottom of the climb one roadie told me that it might be too dangerous to ride to the summit today but thankfully the wind chilled out a bit as i was going up, and also the cloud that had covered the top went away.
Picture is bit below the top on the descend to Malaucene. That glider plane was going nuts, that stuff looks absolutely crazy.
Won't be getting any higher, at least not on this trip. On the Cime de la Bonette.
Riding mountains gives me a crazy high, the combination of exercise and the views that come up. There are places where you can get similar views "for free", without the work, but for me the feeling does not really compare.
The one where it says "terre de cyclistes". Pretty cool slogan, metropole nice cote d'azur.
Met this guy walking across France in the cevennes, he started walking with his two donkeys at his home in Colmar, Alsace and was on his way to visit his kids at their farm at the foot of the Pyrenees. He was following the GR7 hiking trail.
You guys must be thinking i am full of shit, but another cat just walked into my tent. This time at "camping solau" in Espot, Spain.
She stayed for about 15 minutes and is gone now.
I know already that this cat belongs to the campsite, she hopped on my lap yesterday while i was sitting in front of the reception. Don't know her name yet, but i will ask when i get out.
*edit: Cat's called Cookie
I just was there again, no rain this time
