Plant number one
Turned up amongst strawberry plants and got potted on from curiosity. Originally thought gooseberry, but no thorns. No raspberries in garden, so that's also unlikely.
Plant number two
Has turned into a tree with pale green bark. I'm stumped.
First attempt at posting photos, so fingers crossed.

Plant number 1 could be a lilac ...
I think plant no 1 is a raspberry, or at least it is ribes family.
2 has lilac shape leaves, but I cannot enlarge the photo so....
Sorry, delete Ribes (currant), I meant Rubus (berry)
#1 raspberry or close relation for me too - they do grow from seeds in bird droppings. I also think Lilac for the tree.
fidgetbones, If you are on a laptop or computer you can (until they sort out the enlarging) use the ctrl button on your keyboard with the + button to enlarge the page, hold down the ctrl button while tapping the + button until it is large enough to see closely, use the ctrl and tap the - button to revert to normal
wish i found a lilac tree in my garden
Ooh, the neighbours have a thornless blackberry, that would be good. I think they have a flowering redcurrant too, though, it could be either. Don't lilacs have darker and shinier leaves? I'll have to wait until there are flowers, or it is clear there won't be flowers.
