Nurtured by a gardening Mum and allotment Dad, I never paid any attention till I actually obtained my own little allotment plot and 130 ft long garden

I can't see the flowers very clearly but could it be an Escallonia.

@PlantDoctor is correct It's a type of Escallonia judging from the size of the leaf it's an evergreen not semi deciduous

Think you're right susiwoo. I was wrong about the pink flowers though- confusing it with another simular looking plant.
