A lot of people don't understand why New Jersey is known as The Garden State.
A lot of people think New York is a great, big, suburban mess.
What nobody seems to realise - until they're here - is that Jersey is actually a lovely place. Lush. Green. Spacious.
From the veranda of my sister-in-law's place, you can look out over a sea of trees that never ends. No roads. No buildings. Just mile after mile of forest.
Where in England can you still see that?
