Two small, blue flowers growing close to the earth in hedgerows and on banks:
Germander Speedwell. There are more than 20 species of speedwell in Britain but this is the prettiest with the biggest flowers. It has a white ring in the centre with darker blue radiating outwards. Also known as birdseye speedwell.
Ground Ivy, which is in no way related to ivy and the lobed leaves don't even look like ivy, but like speedwell it shines out from low down on the ground.
I found both of these at the edge of the Mundy Playing Fields.
