some moths and two flies for i.d. please

I think the fly is Stratiomyidae, Beris chalybata male.

Not sure about the Lacewing, wings look like a lacewing but the body doesn't look correct for Chrysoperla carnea and the head looks too fat. I took some pics of a pale one which I could upload.

That'll teach me to jump in and not look at the pictures properly

It's Nothochrysa capitata

i live in hastings, about a mile inland i guess, the garden is small, has rose bushes, privet, honeysuckle and the usual array of garden plants, though no vegetables...growing tomatoes for the first time though...there is a small area of lawn....it is roughly the same in most gardens attached to ours...

After looking at it several times! - could number 2 be a very worn Grey Pine Carpet, Thera obeliscata?

No2 looks like Pine Carpet (Thera firmata) - it has the deep indentation on the leading edge of the median fascia (ie the central bar) which separates it from Grey Pine Carpet (Thera obeliscata).
