    Lupins, keep. 
    Blue flower is vinca, periwinkle. Depends where it's planted, good ground cover but van be rampant.
    Green and white leaves are one of the euonymus.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    any idea on the one in the gravel?

    The one on the gravel wasn't there when I replied. Looks familiar but can't think of it's name.

    I think it might be one of the weedy types of speedwell.

    I don’t think it’s a speedwell,  but I would keep all of those.

    Is it one of the stonecrops?   Maybe a Lysmanchia,  When I blow the photo up it’s just blurred.
    Has it flowered,  is it about to flower?

    Picture slightly blurred on magnifying , but to me looks like a badly dismembered Saxifrage ?

    I thought speedwell too.

    Pic 1 could be just moss.

    If it's about a new garden, the standard recommendation is to just observe for 12m.

    Can you do a close up of the foliage on the first one @Joanne! ?
    That will help with an ID - it's possibly one of the creeping saxifrage/sedums though, going by the general look of it   :)
    Lupin and Vinca for the other two pix, as already said.
    Vinca can be quite invasive, so keep an eye on it. If you get wild rabbits - they'll keep it well under control though  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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