It's a Cymbalaria- possibly Cymbalaria muralis- the ivy-leafed toadflax.

They are sold as alpines in some garden centres, but are also quite invasive in the wrong place. Looking at your second pic it could be Cymbalaria pallida, which I purchased when I lived with my parents- it now survives running between the flagstones of their patio having being weeded out eslewhere.

Can be VERY invasive.  Take care with it.

Thanks very much. This is a larger photo of Cymbalaria muralis from the internet. Is it more likely to be pallida still do you think having looked at this photo.

It's rather pretty but a terrible weed which gets everywhere  & is very difficult to get rid of.
Gerry passed away  at home  on 25th February 2021 - his posts are  left  in the  forum in memory of him.
His was a long life - lived well.

I'm sure you are right Chris it's about 8 inches in height, but this one can be a bit of a thug too.

Yes, I agree with Chris. It too, can be a terrible invader. It ripped apart a stone wall I once had. It wasn't a wall of my making but a proper, builders' wall, the rocks concreted together. >:( Used to be called Crucianella stylosa.
