Unknown shrub

On our walk yesterday we noticed this tree/shrub covered in these dangling things (not a very good description!!) They looked so pretty and were very soft to the touch. I have no idea what the plant is - any ides?

Maybe a Mimosa? Not sure at all they are lovely and unique!

I have no idea what they are….giant centipedes is right! I don’t recognise the leaves either!
I took a photo with my plant identifier & it came up as a willow!!

Great shot - looks to me to be a willow tree ( weeping willow !)
