Hi Pete
Yes first one is fever few and some tortoises eat it mine don't touch it it grows everywhere here .
Second one is wood avens (geum urbanum) related to bramble and roses so may be edible sorry but can't be deffinate .

Thanks, Darren,
I've been trying to identify the wood avens for ages now (none of my wildflower books has a picture that looks exactly like it so I wasn't sure). Now I know!
