I have a large number of Spanish bluebells in my garden (I know, I know) and the leaves don't look same. Mine have a much broader looking leaf. Don't know if that helps?
Hi again, thank you all very much for the help, i am most grateful. Yes, nutcutlet, the leaves belong to the shrub. Seems like cotonesater is a pretty safe bet then.
As for the grassy thing, i think grape hyacinth may be right because i have seen those plants in flower at the front of the house before, and as these were all planted by the previous owners it would seem likely that they planted some at the back of the house too. It is strange that i have never seen this one in flower before though (and i visit quite often), can they go through years without flowering? Im sorry i dont know too much, lol, guess we will wait and see, i am intrigued.
..another possibility for the grassy plant is that it's a congested clump of Lady Jane tulips... this clusiana hybrid has leaves just like those when it clumps up, and they are reliably perennial, usually for some years.... flowers in April but it's too early to see any buds.... the grape hyacinth should have flower stems visible now, in amongst the leaves... can't see any on that one as yet...

I think you're right Panda, these are much less heavy-looking

I guess ruling out a plant means I'm getting better at this plant identification business

Hurrah! Can't wait for the day when I know what they are, instead of what they're not

Once again, thank you all for your help.
