Any ideas?
Tree looks like it could be Cotoneaster.
I would say the white flowers are chickweed of some sort, they all have that 5 petal with 2 prongs thing going on.
Blue one looks like Alkanet.
I'd guess
1. Laurel
2. Wood anemone
3. Alkanet
The tree is a Jamaican Woodbine (Rastamouse Marleyii)
I like the sound of Jamaican woodbine but the tree is a Himalayan tree cotoneaster, Cotoneaster frigidus, frigidus because it stands the cold. Its often put in amenity woodland for birds

Willows have little fluffy catkins rather than berries, I used to hoover them to collect the seed. I'd be inclined to go with a laurel.
The white ones look like a variety of chickweed, there's over one hundred varieties to choose from.
Alkanet... That reminds me to do my roots.
Thanks all, much appreciated. Except PP of course!
2 is probably greater stitchwort. It has those 5 white petals, split down the middle.
Number 2 is a problem, Greater Stitchwort looks correct at the flower, but the leaves are wrong.
It could be a chickweed.
I'm going to take some better photos.

I'd go with greater stitchwort, I think its growing through something else with different leaves. Edit on closer look maybe not, it could be nemorum
The first one is a cotoneaster.
Does the white one have a hairy stem all the way round, below the nodes? Or are any hairs in two lines?
Swamp Boy's picture looks more like a Pyracantha (Firethorn) to me.
The leaves are rounded rather than pointy.
#2 - first thought was Stellaria nemorum but leaves don't seem pointed enough. Leaves look like Montia sibirica but those flowers are usually pale pink.
Claytonia?
I'm pretty sure the tree is Willow Leaf Cotoneaster (C salicifolius)
Claytonia flowers are too small I think for the picture.
It's a white flowering form of Claytonia sibirica apparently.
Top marks to Mr Pimpernel and Shackleton
Thanks all.

Shackleton got it I was just agreeing. Its been many years since I looked at any plants properly!!
Got a better one of the flowers.
