also there is picture of my back hedge, does anyone know the name of this?

Thanks
the first picture is a 'mock orange blossom' Philadelphus coronarius.
The flowers are amazingly frangrant! So go and shove your nose into one when you get a minute :-D

The second plant is plain old Privet 'Ligustrum vulgare'
