What is this plant growing on old stone walls

Hi,
Can someone please help me identify this plant growing on the old stone walls around my site. Also grows in ground near the base of the walls.

Looks like Geranium robertianum. Common name herb Robert.
A weed to most folk.
I really hate the smell from it.

Thanks a million Silversurfer - that seems to be it alright. I do agree that its a weed in the flower beds - but I do like it on the old walls. Breaks up the grey as the walls are over 8ft high in places.
Thanks again - unbelievable quick response!!
