The leaves look too big, long and bright for Vinca, unless that is because they have been shaded by the blackberry. There are ivy leaves on the left side of the main photo.

Mike I think the leaves lot different because it was growing under the blackberry. The glossy opposite leaves, with a pointed end and small hairs only along the margin tell me this is the dreaded Vinca - sorry

The 10cm leaves are for this sighting (growing under cover) and the 5cm leaves are from a nearby open patch.
