He has also found time to be a pioneer organic farmer when, in 1990, he decided to master the skills of traditional farming using carthorses, Suffolk Punches, instead of tractors, and farmed 40 acres of Suffolk countryside. This experience inspired not only his hugely successful column, 'Farmer's Diary', which appeared weekly in The Times for seven years, but also a number of books. In 2005, he fulfilled a longstanding ambition to sail the Atlantic singlehanded in the wake of the solo sailing pioneers, which led to his book ''The Last Man across the Atlantic''. Paul lives with his wife Libby Purves, in Suffolk.    “The event went very well and Paul's presentation was well timed and laugh-out-loud amusing.” “Thank you for joining us at the successful launch of the Melton Carnegie Museum.
