    I would like to see a clear pic looking down on to the leaves.to see the shape/veins/edges etc.

    I am sure this is not Ugni molinae...your leaves are alternate on the twig while Ugni leaves come opposite.

    Not right for Myrtus communis either.

    Cotoneaster franchetii. Possibly self seeded, they do tend to pop up anywhere.
