A creeper type plant has started growing, picture he

There is a clump of half a dozen shhots that first appeared a couple
of months ago. It twists itself around anything adjacent and appears
to grow quite fast. Does anyone know what it is?

It looks like an unwelcome guest. Bindweed/Convulvulus type. Try to get
rid of it. It usually runs with roots not too deep.

The following link has lots of info and some good advice.

or just Google "How to eradicate bindweed" if the link is too long.

Hope this helps.
