It's a nice plant, J...Santolina would have been my first guess too...

Could it be a type of Ozothamnus? can't quite tell from the photo

Plantaholic is right! Ozothmamnus Threave. card says med sized evergreen shrub. Flowers crimson in bud, open white. Suberb silvery-grey needle-like foliage. Full sun free draining soil.

Such a great plant. And now I have found my collection of care cards...hidden away under piles of 'stuff!'
