Sorry Len has broken his leg, at first he thought it was just twisted, but when it fell off he was convinced it was broken!!

I just got back from hospital actually

but Len says when he twisted his ankle, the force was too much for his knee joint.

He's still smiling but, I fancy he also needs a neck collar.
