Lordie me!

These things happen.

The starter mechanism can spin without catching, it's often caused by carbon from the clutch clogging up the mechanism. Take the starter off, give it a good clean using a decent liquid cleaner and refit. It should be fine.
You'll want to look at the teeth on the starter and the flywheel whilst you are there to make sure there'd nothing more untoward going on.
