Its a Lesser Celandine - a British native wild flower - whether it's a weed or not depends on whether you like it or not and are happy for it to be where it is. It will spread and is difficult to get rid of so some people just put up with it and enjoy its bright sunny face - one of the first flowers of the spring. It doesn't last long ... very soon the flowers and leaves will die down and you won't see it any more until next spring.

The smaller leaves amongst it are Cleavers, aka Goosegrass or Sticky Willy. It can be a nuisance because it grows long and spreads over your plants and the little seeds stick to your clothes. I'd pull that out if I were you

Hello Metalmama it is a Lesser Celandine. Spreads like wildfire but disappears completely in the Summer.

Ahh thanks both, and for the Goosegrasss tip Dovefromabove.
I am going to attach the next photo on another mail, as again it won't upload.
Try reducing the size of the photos - they upload better that way

Flowers are bright pink and heart shaped with the same coloured small attachments at the bottom, that look like beads.
