I have recently moved house and I have a new garden. There are a few
things already growing there which I cannot identify.

I have put together a rather rough and ready web page with the 3 items
there are two pictures of a bush one is a close up of the leaves

Can anyone help me?

'Neil',

Picture 1 is probably Pieris formosa Forrestii

Picture 2 is Ceanothus

Agree with the others as to 2:Ceanothus and 3:London Pride but 1 could be
all sorts of things at this stage. It looks like a clump-forming perennial
at least. The only thing I've got at the moment looking like that is
solidago ( Golden Rod ). But the leaves are a bit redder than your image. A
close-up of one piece may help.

Could it be a patch of some kind of campanula? Looks quite like my C.
persicifolia.

No 1. could also be a rockery plant.Arabis fernandii coburgi
