They're very rewarding plants because they're evergreen, they have lovely
flowers and bees go crazy about them. Is your type of 'privet' possibly
the
Lonicera nitida we've been talking about elsewhere? If you do a Google
Image search you might find it's familiar.

It could be although I'm not sure as there is no picture in my RHS
encyclopedia but having read the description with a sprig alongside me the
flowers although creamy white are smaller and it's in flower now rather than
spring and also at the growing end as well as from the leaf base. I'll try
google for an image later when I'm online.
It may have flowered in spring as well, I never pay much attention.
