Hi Robinia (and Jules) The first ones are covering part of the garden....are very light green with quite small leaves.
We've been here a month now and it's heavenly. Hanging out washing with birds serenading me. Oh the sheer bliss!! We will need a few thou just to modernise it but as we don't, we'll just enjoy what we have. The garden is 40x40 so quite small - but it's flat - and has trees and bushes, of which I know nowt - so expect to be bombarded with q's :-)
These are another 2 for your perusal:

hi again...so pleased for you Cetti. Never mind the mod cons eh? so long as you have what you need that's how I try to think nowadays. Mind you, after having some serious pruning done in my garden there's a lovely space....just right for a summerhouse....<dreams>
ooh, you have flowers earlier than me...I love pulmonaria...aka in these parts as Soldiers & Sailors.
Still unsure about no 1, I'm sure our resident garden wizard - Thunderbird - will know. (Bound to be something really common & I'll have to hang my head....) :o)

Just taken a couple more pics of Plant number 1, hopefully showing the size.

Hi Cetti, You have some nice plants in your new plase and it all looks like it's bursting into life! most of the plants seem to have been chosen for shade I'd say.
Thanks for the mention Robinia, I'm in agreement with you and Jules on the ID.
Starting from the top, #1 really had me bamboozled, it looks familiar but I cant be sure, the leaves remind me a bit of Erythronium (dog's tooth violet) a bit like one of the Asiatic lilies too (Lilium) Hope we can see it again when it flowers.
2, yep Skimmia, 3a &3b Euonimus, 4 Paulmonaria (Lungwort) & 5 Bergenia, thats out early !
Enjoy your garden Tbird+

Thank you Tbird, now they've been identified I can find out what to do next. How lovely if they were lilies - my favourite flower, but I'll post a pic later for you to see.
Yes, the whole garden is bursting with life including hover flies and bumbles. A bit early so I hope the poor little things don't have a shock. Thank you everyone.

Here are two more pics of the Euonymus/Pittosporum.
