    Hi @fairygirl37 - are you my sister?  ;)
    Difficult without an idea of scale, but it could be a Pittosporum or an Eleagnus. What size is the foliage?
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Possibly a pittosporum? or a daphne?

    Perhaps a variegated Pittosporum, like "Silver Queen", maybe?
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Thank you so much, leaves are about 4 inches long, never flowers and at the moment is about 9 feet tall.  Grows very quickly.

    ..the elongated canoe shaped leaves with a wavy edge suggest Pittosporum eugenioides 'variegata'.. see what you think...
