Thank you all. It is flowering in MILs garden now. Will have another look to see if it is fragrant.

It does look like a Deutzia
I just went out in the rain to check the label on my shrub which has just finished flowering but the label has dropped off.

It had a profusion of small white flowers and small greyish green leaves, but nowhere near the size of yours ginny.

Deutzia! And the smell is heavenly!

Could it be Amelanchier?

It’s Deutzia.

If it’s out now, my guess is a Deutzia.

I was thinking the same as mcem if it's fragrant that would be my guess from the photo. Is that photo from last year or is it out already?

I agree with mcem, it looks like philadelphus. The scent is lovely, but I found mine was very prone to blackfly sad

I don't know what it is but it's lovely!

Looks a bit like Philadelphus. Is it a tall shrub and is it fragrant?
I'm no expert but it looks like the one I had a few years ago.
