    Could it be pulmonaria?

    Maybe Green Alkanet, Pentaglottis sempervirens


    In the sticks near Peterborough

    Those dots don't look right for pulmonaria
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Yes, I can see that now. I think @nutcutlet is right.

    It has a beguiling blue flower but can become a real thug.

    Green alkanet.  The leaves and stems are hairy and scratchy.
    Gardening in East Suffolk on dry sandy soil.
