I thought it might be thyme but the leaves don't smell. 


Sorry about quality of pics  but it is very small

    Some kind of speedwell perhaps?

    Maybe  but the leaves  are shiny  and a bit like scarlet pimpernel

    Agree Pansyface, looks like brook lime to me.

    The thing is the flowers are like tiny snapdragons with a spotty 'lip' a bit like those blue flowers that grow out of walls but with totally different leaves.
    I'm off to try to get a better picture with my camera.

    I've taken some more pictures but the sun is going in so they've closed up a bit, but they are definitely looking like speedwell now, can't see the spots any more - if they were ever there :/
