They look like the wildflower called Speedwell.

Possibly but neither look like the illustrations in my book! (2 different plants btw)

I think the first one is green alkonet. The second some sort of campanula perhaps?

There are probably twenty or more varieties of speedwell (also called veronica, I think) most being 'wild' but there are also cultivated varieties.
