If you like the plant, and you like it in that place, it's not a weed.
A weed is a plant growing where you don't want it
Sorry I can't help with ID, it pops up in my garden too and I keep it if I've got no other plans for where it's popped up

I quite agree with your philosophy about weeds and I do ,sort of ,cultivate some that I like ,
Do you have the same as in my pic ?Does it have flowers?

The bigger plant looks a bit like cow parsely, which has lacey white flowers, have a google and see what you think.

Looks like there is some actual parsley there - is that likely?

I can’t see it very clearly but could be Herb Robert? Geranium robertianum it can look like that as a young plant. www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/plants/wild-flowers/herb-robert/

If it is purplish stems and a bit of a whiff then it could be.

Possibly young

It’s the right time of year and looks like it could be bleeding heart.

Not sure what the feathery plant is, it looks like parsley but could also be herb Robert. Does it smell strongly of coriander when you pick it?The smaller rounder leaves are forget-me-nots in case you don't know.

Ah thank you all ,,,my bet is herb robert .Will have a look again tomorrow .

It doesn’t look like Herb Robert or any of the other suggestions because the leaves are coming up singly, not from a central crown. Have a look at de Caen anemones:

Oh wow @MereDintofPandiculation you have made my weekend!!

Yes I think they are anemones .I did plant some but for some reason I am useless at bulbs and 90% of any bulbs I plant disappear .I plant but don't hope .So I had completely forgotten these .

I can't believe something I planted is thriving !! I'm so happy .

I wonder why the squirrels didn't have them ....

I agree with MereDint that it looks very much like you've got anemones there
