Mr Right, here I come!
Nicci in the Post last month.
Nicci Taylor has sold all of her possessions to buy a campervan to head up to Scotland in search of love.
The 49- year- old took the decision to up sticks and go on an adventure after being made redundant last month.
Now, after weeks of packing, planning and trips to car boot sales, Nicci and her Labrador Milo will head off tomorrow.
But since The Sunday Post first revealed the mum- ofone’s bold plan, she has received scores of marriage proposals and declarations of love over the internet.
“I have had at least 50, probably more,” Nicci said.
“I have had to block a few people on Facebook but everyone has been pretty friendly.
“There seems to have been a lot from abroad, particularly from Turkish men, who just seem to pour their hearts out to you.”
Ni c c i , w h o has never married, spent most of her life bringing up her son Phil, now 27, as a single mum, and
Nicci has dubbed her campervan ‘The Beast’.
Nicci and Milo head off tomorrow. nursing her sister Pip back to health following a brain haemorrhage.
But Nicci, fromWirral, has decided that if the man of her dreams isn’t going to come and find her, it’s high time she went to find him.
She sold nearly everything she owns and moved out of her rented house to raise enough to buy a 1991 Talbot Express Autoquest 320, which she has named ‘The Beast’.
She has since been busy adding a touch of glamour to it, including covering cushions, making new curtains and decorating the inside with fairy lights, – which actually turned out to be snowmen!
“They look a bit out of place with the weather we’ve been having,” she admitted. “But perhaps that will have changed by the time I get to Scotland.”
Nicci has a soft spot for the Scottish accent after spending a decade living in Perth, working as an air hostess at Edinburgh Airport, but also adores Italy.
So she has high hopes of landing a Scottish-Italian hunk while touring with two-year-old Milo.
Visit Scotland has given her passes to some of the country’s top attractions and will be helping set her up on some hot dates.
While she admits to being nervous about her big adventure she believes it has already been well worthwhile.
“Even if I only get 20 miles and it conks out at least I have tried,” she said.
“I have already had a lot of fun and made some new friends and I have not even started.”
Nicci has also decided to use her trip to raise awareness of prostate cancer, which claimed the life of her dad Phil at the age of 73.
“I just thought even if one guy thought, ‘I will have a look into this’, it would be well worth it.
“I think if my dad was still here he’d be proud of me.”
