Definitely a hardy geranium. I have several and it could be malviflorum or similar. After flowering, cut off everything to about 6" and feed with BFB - it should re-flower later on in the season. Divide clump by cutting into chunks, or use a hand fork or trowel to take off outside shoots which you then can pot up. It will tolerate both full sun and part shade.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Its a cranesbill I think. The wild version. Lovely plants, bees adore them.
