It is a Native Violet.

Grows wll everywhere, in sun or shade and selfseeds.

Makes a good filler in hanging baskets or bare spots in the garden.

Australian native violets have round or heart shaped leaves.

That one looks like the leaves are 5 pointed ones

My guess is Kenilworth Ivy - ( Ivy Leaved Toadflax)

Kenilworth Ivy

Plant

Cymbalaria muralis, with common names ivy-leaved toadflax, Kenilworth ivy, coliseum ivy, Oxford ivy, mother of thousands, pennywort, wandering sailor, is a flowering plant native to Mediterranean Europe and widely naturalised elsewhere.

I'm leaning towards Ivy.

Be afraid, be very very afraid

Ok thanks,I like it but have never figured out what it is. It is getting seed at the moment and so I want to work out how to grow some in pots . That looks like the right one in the photos . It seems to die off if we have hot days so its not invasive now I can google it

Hopefully that "wall" isn't supporting anything as sooner or later it will collapse.

It is badly underscored and a lot of mortar is missing.

IMHO it needs to be repointed or demolished for safety reasons,(although repointing might not be possible).

Nah, just plant ivy - that might hold it all in place.
