This introduction from Mediterranean islands has been at this site to my knowledge for at least 25 years and during that time it has spread a little to the sea side of the narrow path at the base of the cliffs. When I first found it I must admit I recorded it as Borago officinalis (Borage) assuming that its slightly different sprawling habit and paler flowers were a result of growing so near the sea.
