It's easy to spot when you know what it looks like! I'll try and remember to take a picture next time I see one. Maybe that'll put a jinx on it and it won't come back now .
Not so easy to get out though because even with fairly careful digging I find the shoots tend to break off. There's probably a huge network of deep underground roots going on in my garden . If I were more patient I'd resort to glyphosate and hope it takes the lot out eventually, but so far I just dig out what I can when I see it.

@BobTheGardener Yeah I agree. There was nothing of interest in front or back garden when we moved in two weeks ago. I have a blank but neglected canvas to work on.
One growing from under next door's new fence which I will treat with weed-killer because they've had hard landscaping laid on their side and I think the roots are probably under it (I also need to gradually raise my soil level to cover the untidy propping-up of the concrete gravel board. There's a natural dip in the ground level here which they've obviously made up on their side to have the fence level). The other coming up in a nice clump of geranium Ann Folkard which I think also might be best carefully weedkillered (the snowberry not the geranium).

I’ve just been pottering in the back garden and spotted some creeping under the hedge. It is obviously prolific here.
