Thank you for your replies.

Here is a close-up of the leaves:http://tinyurl.com/3zzy6n

It looks fairly close to the geranium mentioned, maybe a different
species?


That is Geranium ok. G.macorrhizum spreads and can work as ground
cover. It is not a weed as such but you may have to periodically keep
it at bay.

You probably have some of the plant Sacha mentioned anyway. If not,
get some. It is pretty and harmless and always seems to look right
where it self seeds.


Yes, it does look Geranium but it's best to wait for it to flower to see
which. The longer distance photo looked remarkably like A. mollis and that,
with the spreading tendencies made me think of that. Some people think it's
a nuisance, I think it's wonderful and the colour of its flowers sets off
everything else and gives a sort of 'lift' to a border.
