first two look like lysimachia punctata, not sure on the other one.
Hi Kathy,
Yes, as Hostafan1 says, the top photos look like Lysimachia punctata, a pretty garden plant with yellow star-shaped flowers (Yellow Loosestrife is it's common name).
Not sure as to the weed - looks similar to groundsel or sow's thistle. It's definitely from the Asteraceae family anyway!

that weed could be Canadian Fleabane, Erigeron canadensis
In the sticks near Peterborough
