white flowers in hedgerows

[falafael]

On my way home, i nticed that along with the hawthorn bushes coming a nice green, everynow and again, there is bushes/hedges laden with little white flowers?
Didnt have time to stop and examine, but does anyone know what these flowers could be??
Thanks

Elderflowers? Link

no they are not elderflower, they tend to be more like trees, there leaves are distinct, plus they aren't in flower yet, my train of thought put them either at some sort of hawthorn, or sloe?, but then whys all the hedge not white, rather than just the odd bush!!
