Theres small clumps of this plant in my garden, they have survived the cold, frost and snow brilliantly, and are hairless. It is only a small plant; only reaching a few centimeters in height...

Can you remember if it bears little pink/purple or white flowers in the summer? Just guessing but looks a bit like Herb Robert, I don't know the scientific name.

Just googled Herb Robert and Cow Parsley, and I seem to recall seeing the little flower of Herb Robert last year.
Looking forward to it flowering now to see what it is. Thanks for the suggestions!

It used to grow like wild fire in my garden when I had a house in Sussex...:D :D

Geranium robertianum
small member of cranesbill family, grows like a weed, which it should :)
