Identifiying a shrub or tree - no pictures

As I've been out and about the West Midlands, I've passed peoples' gardens and envied a shrub or a tree I've seen in a few of them.
It has pink blossom but not the 'standard' pink cherry blossom.
It's fine, almost like a mist, with a 'bottle brush' appearance. The shade of pink is darker than cherry blossom.
I've seen what look like small trees with 'weeping branches' which droop to the ground, others have a more upright habit and also shrub like bushes which were part of a hedge.
Can anyone suggest what it is?
A quick Google only brings up cherry blossom and I'm pretty sure it's not that.
