Old Mans Beard

or Traveller's Joy.
It is a clambering plant found in hedgerows. It gets its colloquial name from the hairy plumes that persist throughout the winter
Lovely pictures.Are they the same plant at different stages?

@susiemc Yes Sue, the hairy plumes are the seed heads which last throughout the winter. You will find it in the books as Traveller's Joy.
