More Tales From Behind The Counter – the perfect stocking filler!
More Tales From Behind The Counter is the latest book written by author and friend of DIY Week, Graham Higson, in which he takes an amusing peak behind the hardware retailer’s counter, that anyone in the business, or even those who aren't, will find very entertaining.

With a swimming pool of sludge and a woman customer who's determined to rearrange his anatomy, those were more than trying times back in the '90s.

• Butterfly Mix (Forget-me-not, Red Campion, Yarrow, Purple Loosetrife, Musk Mallow)
