It does still sound a bit high, and bubble are a sign it is still fermenting and not yet finished. They can sometimes take longer, it may be worth giving it a gentle stir to ensure it completes fermenting, continue to keep it at a good temperature, early 20's is fine for Woodfordes, and just keep an eye on the readings, they should keep going down slowly. If bottling rather than kegging it is more important that the fermentation is complete, as any excess pressure cannot escape from bottles, at least with a keg it can be released through the safety pressure valve on the lid
